I’m not sure what you’re driving at, Rick.
The Document Type submenu in the Markup menu includes an HTML5 option.
The Document Type button in the HTML Tools palette does not. This is
inconsistent and presumably an oversight.
Even though the HTML5 doctype is very simple, it still makes sense to
have it as an option in the HTML Tools palette, doesn’t it?
Cheers!

The doctype for HTML5 is very simple. To indicate that your HTML
content uses HTML5, simply use:
<!DOCTYPE html>
Doing so will cause even browsers that don't presently support HTML5
to enter into standards mode, which means that they'll interpret the
long-established parts of HTML in an HTML5-compliant way while
ignoring the new features of HTML5 they don't support.
This is much simpler than the former doctypes, and shorter, making it
easier to remember and reducing the amount of bytes that must be
downloaded.

Re-reading Robert’s original post, it looks like he was indeed
asking about the “HTML Tools” palette specifically, not BBEdit as
a whole. He wrote:

But in any case I agree with Greg; this is one for

May be worth contacting support about this, but as I wrote earlier
in this
thread, not every option is available in the palette, which is not
the same
as BBEdit not supporting HTML5.

Just checked in 12.0.2 and indeed “HTML5” is missing from the
“Doc Type”
popup menu of the “HTML Tools” palette. It is, however, present
in the
“Document Type” submenu of the “Markup” menu. Go figure!
