Is CKEditor 4 really ready for HTML5

Question

I try new CKEditor 4 because code correction in version 3.6 can't accept HTML 5 valid code like this:

<a href="#"><p>something</p></a>

But new CKEditor version still repair this code, so where is problem? Is necessary to set HTML 5 as default in config?

Answer 1

Nope. CKEditor parsers are using static DTD. HTML5 cannot be described with static DTD so at the moment CKEditor cannot support this kind of markup.
