Additional remarks:
After <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9"></meta> element has been added to the html file, eclipse will support html5 tab. The sample content is as follows:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9"></meta>
</head>
<body>
<canvas id="myCanvas">your browser does not support the canvas tag </canvas>
<script type="text/javascript">
var canvas=document.getElementById('myCanvas');
var ctx=canvas.getContext('2d');
ctx.fillStyle='#FF0000';
ctx.fillRect(0,0,80,100);
</script>
</body>
</html>

> Additional remark.

When undefining the <meta> element in the IE 9, html5 tags can be displayed.In the eclipse environment,the <meta> element must be added to the html file for tags can be displayed. I hope eclipse can provides some function to control the <meta> element,or still display html5 tags without the <meta> element. 

Thanks!
