[jira] [Commented] (TAP5-840) Support character references in tml
files with HTML 5 Doctype
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-840?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13101946#comment-13101946 ]
Lenny Primak commented on TAP5-840:
-----------------------------------
The problem with using entity numbers instead of names is that graphical web page editors (e.g. Dreamweaver)
still put and such in the html code, so right now html5 templates are not editable by graphic designers,
so the whole point of tapestry templates being editable by designers is broken with html5 right now.

> Currently to support HTML character references (e.g. ©) you need to put a HTML Doctype at the top of the TML file.
> e.g. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
> However for HTML 5 they have stopped using XML doctypes and instead use
> <!DOCTYPE html>
> If you change tapestry page to use this you can no longer use entities as the XML parser doesn't know what to do.
> Ideally there should be some kind of logic that detects <!DOCTYPE html> and include a suitable DTD to resolve the common HTML entities. The HTML 5 specification defines the allowed named character references - http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#named-character-references. There doesn't seem to be a DTD of allowed references maintained anymore.
