[jira] Commented: (TAPESTRY-1264) Can't specify DOCTYPE in template

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-1264?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12475186 ] 

Daniel Gredler commented on TAPESTRY-1264:
------------------------------------------

As Howard mentions on the wiki [http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5/tap5devwiki.html#ComponentTemplates], the HTML DTDs aren't valid XML DTDs, causing problems for XML parsers [http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread88141.html].

The alternative is to use an XHTML DTD. However, many people recommend not using XHTML if you want to remain standards-compliant [http://hsivonen.iki.fi/doctype/] [http://annevankesteren.nl/2004/06/invalid-html]. HTML 4 Strict is definitely the path of least resistance for standards-compliance...

Of course if you can't use HTML DTDs in the template DOCTYPEs, but users want to use HTML entities (&nbsp; &copy; &gt; etc) then T5 users might find themselves in the position of having to declare their templates to be XHTML documents, but configuring T5 to serve up HTML documents. Blah.

> DOCTYPEs specified in T5 templates either cause exceptions to be thrown, or are not output into the final HTML, depending on the DOCTYPE used. The DOCTYPES need to be configurable somewhere, preferrably in the template itself, just like T4.
