Hello all, Forgive me if this has been discussed before (I do not recall seeing it since I have been following the mailing list). ?I recently started experimenting with some HTML5 stuff on a page I maintain, and as expected, dillo indicated an error in the html source. ?You can see the page here: http://www3.sympatico.ca/rsquared/gdb/ The error is: "HTML warning: line 2, the required DOCTYPE declaration is missing (or invalid)" Now this does not surprise me at all, as I presume dillo is not expecting the new doctype declaration. ?Anyway, I thought I might raise this issue, and see what sort of mind the devs have about implementing HTML5 in dillo. ?Of course, I realise you fellows are probably up to your ears in the FLTK 1.3 port, but I thought this might make for an interesting discussion, if nothing else. ?To start off, I suppose the danger in implementing any of the new html stuff is that it is not standardised at all yet. ?See here for more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5#W3C_standardization_process I guess the worry is that it could possibly be a bit of a moving target.

Hello all, Forgive me if this has been discussed before (I do not recall seeing it since I have been following the mailing list). I recently started experimenting with some HTML5 stuff on a page I maintain, and as expected, dillo indicated an error in the html source. You can see the page here: http://www3.sympatico.ca/rsquared/gdb/ The error is: "HTML warning: line 2, the required DOCTYPE declaration is missing (or invalid)" Now this does not surprise me at all, as I presume dillo is not expecting the new doctype declaration. Anyway, I thought I might raise this issue, and see what sort of mind the devs have about implementing HTML5 in dillo. Of course, I realise you fellows are probably up to your ears in the FLTK 1.3 port, but I thought this might make for an interesting discussion, if nothing else. To start off, I suppose the danger in implementing any of the new html stuff is that it is not standardised at all yet.

Blast it! I just figured out how to build the new 1.3 port, and realised that you fellows have at least addressed the HTML5 issue in part. ? As an aside, with the new browser brings a different issue, which I will address a little later in a different thread.

There is that, and the general immensity of the thing. I'm guessing that Dillo will someday have to start recognizing the names of some new elements, form types, etc., as they become common.
