HTML5 support with Rails 4.0.2

I just started learning Rails 4.0.2. I was wondering if there is anything(any gem?) which allows the support of html5 in rails .html.erb pages..

So basically, lets say, If I create an email field in my .html.erb, It would look like as :

<%= f.text_field :email %>

And in html5, you can simply use

<input type="email" ..>

which make sure that email format is correct..

My question is:

Is it possible to use <%= f.email ... %> in .html.erb pages using the help of anything?

I hope I made my question clear. I won't mind writing more about it if it is not clear..

Rails does support HTML5, try this in your view

= f.email_field :email

Just make sure your layout starts with <!DOCTYPE html> tag (which is added for you by default).

You should read more about this and other view-related helpers in the excellent Guide on the topic, these HTML5 helpers are detailed in the Other Helpers section
