[jira] [Created] (NETBEANS-3895) DOCTYPE for html and xhtml files should be revised to current standards.

Kenneth Fogel created NETBEANS-3895:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: DOCTYPE for html and xhtml files should be revised to current standards.
                 Key: NETBEANS-3895
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-3895
             Project: NetBeans
          Issue Type: New Feature
    Affects Versions: 11.2
            Reporter: Kenneth Fogel
             Fix For: Next


The DOCTYPE at the beginning for html and xhtml files should just be the HTML5 version:

<!DOCTYPE html>

All the DTD stuff and other items are obsolete.

In addition the line

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

is also obsolete unless the encoding needs to be changed. I'd prefer to have it removed from every xml file. This is likely a contentious suggestion but I dislike having declarations or code that no longer serves a purpose.
