 * Hi,
    Your plugin is usefull but you use a bunch of self-defined tags which are
   not HTML5 compilant. If I’m not wrong, such thing surely affects the SEO ranking
   of the pages using your plugin.
 * Thanks for your efforts
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fhtml5-non-compilant%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi there,
 * Sorry about that. We will definitely fix this in upcoming releases.
    FYI, SEO
   is not affected by the W3C validation. You can see that most popular websites
   like Google, Amazon, and Twitter don’t validate these.

 * [@suanlian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/suanlian/) – How about you make
   your own plugin and you can do it the way you want? Until then, if you feel so
   strongly about it, you can always make a big donation to the author of this plugin
   for the work that he/she/they have to do.
