For example <header> and <footer> are new HTML5 elements, but as it seems in the screen shot below both the elements are marked as red which probably means Geany is telling :
Warining : Unknown elements

                  Geany doesn't know what is header and footer elements

How can I make this normal? What files do I need to edit?

Update

I found that when I revert back to default (white background, as shown in Morlunk's answer) theme then no error occurs. Any way to make this happen in my theme? Because I don't want to leave dark theme

On the version of Geany shipped with Ubuntu 12.04 (0.21), this doesn't appear to be an issue!

I recommend you update to the latest version of Geany using this PPA or, if you're feeling adventurous, updating to Ubuntu 12.04. Good luck!

  • I think the problem is with my theme I downloaded, because when I reverted back to normal theme then it shows no such error. But I can't leave that theme!

The following can be tacked onto the end of the HTML keywords line in filetypes.xml (~/.config/geany/filedefs/filetypes.xml) for the HTML5 new elements to be recognised:

article aside audio canvas command details datalist figure figcaption footer header hgroup keygen mark meter nav output progress section time video wbr

(Geany 1.23.1 has these keywords.)
