Prose

Dive Into HTML5 comprises original prose written by Mark Pilgrim. The text is Copyright © 2009, O’Reilly Media, but they have graciously allowed me to publish it here under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported license.

Illustrations

This book includes illustrations from the Open Clip Art Library, all of which are old enough that they have passed into the public domain.

In addition, the drop caps at the beginning of each chapter are from The Alphabet of Children. These illustrations are also in the public domain.

The live video example at the end of Video on the Web uses a poster image called From Grandma's Basement: Apple IIe by Paulo Ordoveza. It is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution License.

This is Essays 1743, a font by John Stracke, based on the typeface
used in a 1743 English translation of Montaigne's Essays.  The font is
released under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License (see
the COPYING file).  At present (version 0.2), it contains 817
characters: all of ASCII, Latin-1, and Latin Extended A; some of Latin
Extended B (basically, the ones that are more or less based on Roman
letters); and a variety of other characters, such as oddball
punctuation, numerals, etc.

TrueType and PostScript forms are available.

For the purposes of the LGPL, the source file is Essays1743.sfd (the pfaedit source), which should be included in this archive.
