#A Generic HTML5 Template

Documentation
You can read about this boilerplate in greater detail on Six Revisions: A Generic HTML5 Template.
How to Use
Option 1
git clone https://github.com/sixrevisions/html5-template.git /your/local/directory
Option 2
Copy and paste the following into a blank HTML document, fill in the blanks and modify as needed:
Browser Support
Mobile browsers are instructed to render the layout using width=device-width and initial-scale=1
IE 9 and above are supported by the use of a conditional comment that loads html5shiv and Respond.js for support of new HTML5 elements and media queries
##Some Notes
The conditional comments for IE 9 support, as well as the example script at the section, uses a public CDN for open source libraries, cdnjs.com that's sponsored by a reputable CDN provider, CloudFlare.
At the section, the example script is jQuery 2.x, which doesn't support IE 8 and below. This HTML5 template only accomodates IE 9 and above, so this is an appropriate choice over jQuery 1.x.
