<!doctype html> is the declaration for HTML5. If a verification tool breaks on the doctype declaration (versus reporting on things on the page that’s not HTML5-compliant), then the verification tool is broken. > I'm playing with the Google mod_pagespeed in Apache 2.4, and adding the full > DOCTYPE seems necessary.

I’m not current with where Koha is going but I assume Koha would be going HTML5 as most sites are going to go HTML5. -- cheers, ambrose // http://o.gniw.ca / http://gniw.ca // _______________________________________________ Koha-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
