Aryeh Gregor <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution| |WONTFIX --- Comment #3 from Aryeh Gregor <[email protected]> 2011-03-31 22:51:17 UTC --- This is not a bug in the software. The semantics of $wgDocType don't make sense for HTML5, because it's used to output a doctype like <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "$wgDocType" "$wgDTD"> while the HTML5 doctype is just <!DOCTYPE html> so there's nothing you could set $wgDocType or $wgDTD to to get the default doctype we want. So by default I just ignored it in $wgHtml5. If doctype overriding is actually useful, we could add a new configuration option like $wgDocTypeOverride that sets the whole doctype as one string, so by default it could be "<!DOCTYPE html>" but wiki operators could customize it to whatever they felt like. This might be useful for Wikimedia deployment of $wgHtml5 = true, as I remarked recently on wikitech-l. Note that in 1.17 and later, the default doctype is "<!DOCTYPE html>". The default doctype in 1.16 is different for tiresome reasons that I won't bother explaining, but that's irrelevant for bug-tracking purposes, since branches are mostly only maintained for security and so we aren't going to be changing around how 1.16 works. Why do you want an XHTML Transitional doctype? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
