    Hi Studyopedia!
    Being a student, i am really very thankful for this website. It really has helped me a lot. But in HTML5, i just cant find the syntax for audio and video tags. I may not be able to find it, but i also hope that u could make finding things more easier ( as the search bar’s not helping a lot ).
