Here's some food for thought on the subject of HTML 4.01 in Django (as it's been discussed a lot before):
James Bennet brought up the HTML4 argument on the Django developers list some time ago: http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/a233bb5b3b39e147/7c9bf930a533345b and later blogged about why he chose HTML4 for his personal blog: http://www.b-list.org/weblog/2008/jun/18/html/ > I have not suggested such thing though. From a brief look at the source > code, it appeared to me that it would be easy to create a setting that > specifies whether to include the slash or not, and based on that setting > write either " />" or ">" at the end of input tags (and <br>). This has been written some time ago and shot down by Jacob: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/3568 In the comment of the wontfix change he mentions he'd support a template filter for this, along the lines of what django-html is doing already. I personally believe, if Django should choose only one doctype as its default, it should choose HTML 4.01 and provide a filter for XHTML. But I think I'm in the minority on that. :) Cheers! -Rob --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
