 * 1. Is there any way to do it now?
    2. Are you going to add it in the next versions?

 * Hi,
    Since HTML4 and HTML5 share a lot of elements/attributes, there is partial
   highlighting for HTML5 in version 0.9.12.
 *  If you need complete HTML5 highlight support, you can easily update GeSHi to
   version 1.0.8.10 by downloading it from here: [http://qbnz.com/highlighter/](http://qbnz.com/highlighter/)
   and replacing the “geshi” folder located in “/wp-content/plugins/wp-syntax” with
   the one you downloaded from above.
 *  The “lang” attribute you’ll want to use is “html5”:
    `<pre lang="html5">HTML5
   code here.</pre>`
