Why are some newer tags such as <footer> and <section> showing in red in the editor? These are interpreted fine in most browsers.

Hi Craig,
Are you using any Javascripts on your page? Try validating your page and see if you have another tag unclosed.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Craig, you should also check Preferences > General > Initial DOCTYPE and make sure HTML5 is selected.
I don't see red (:o) when I use the newer HTML5 elements.
