Hi Thorsten, I assume with prior transformation process you are referring to the transformerhandler which insert the meta tag for the html use case. I also just stumbled across Michael Kay's reponse about serialization for html5 where he mentions:
"The XSLT and XQuery WGs have taken the view that we will address serialization to HTML5 when HTML5 is finished; meanwhile WHAT WG seem to be claiming that "finished" is an obsolete concept and that HTML5 will remain under continuous change forever. Perhaps I'm misquoting them, but that's my understanding." http://www.biglist.com/lists/lists.mulberrytech.com/xsl-list/archives/201105/msg00067.html But to wrap up what I'm trying to achieve here: I want to be able to do following use cases: * XML data --> transform using xslt to html5 --> serialize to html5 * stringtemplate generator --> serialize to html5 Preferably I want to be able to do so out-of-the-box with Cocoon3. As you seem more acquainted with the topic what would need to be done to enable this?

Yes but that only goes in the PI and is used for the serialization. salu2 > > Robby > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Thorsten Scherler [mailto:scher...@gmail.com] > Sent: Sunday, January 08, 2012 10:28 PM > To: dev@cocoon.apache.org > Subject: RE: HTML5 serializer > > On Fri, 2012-01-06 at 19:56 +0100, Robby Pelssers wrote: > > .... > > > So we’re almost there.
