Thanks for answering, Nathan. I am sure you Think Velocity supports HTML5 tags. But have you every actually tested that?
In fact, older versions of Velocity do not. I Have tested. Velocity throws a Velocity exception: "the <canvas> tag is not recognized" or "<video> is not recognized". This occurs when you set the HTML doctype for HTML5 and add nothing else but a canvas or a video tag. In a previously working VM template. However, the same HTML renders fine in any browser. ________________________________________ From: Nathan Bubna [nbu...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2013 11:57 AM To: general Subject: Re: Which versions of Velocity support HTML5? All versions of Velocity support all versions of HTML, and every other text format out there. Velocity is a general purpose template engine for processing any and all text content. It neither knows nor cares what HTML tags you have in your templates. Perhaps Click is throwing exceptions about HTML5 tags, though i doubt that too. Perhaps you could share one of these exceptions you are getting?
