Please vote for this issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-840
if you want DreamWeaver, etc. to be able to edit HTML 5 templates. Thanks! > Currently to support HTML character references (e.g. ©) you need to put > a HTML Doctype at the top of the TML file. > > e.g. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" > "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> > > However for HTML 5 they have stopped using XML doctypes and instead use > <!DOCTYPE html> > > If you change tapestry page to use this you can no longer use entities as the > XML parser doesn't know what to do. > > Ideally there should be some kind of logic that detects <!DOCTYPE html> and > include a suitable DTD to resolve the common HTML entities. The HTML 5 > specification defines the allowed named character references > -http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#named-character-references. There > doesn't seem to be a DTD of allowed references maintained anymore.
