doctype
Provides HTML and XHTML doctypes as strings.
Interface
[constant] doctype-htmlGeneric HTML doctype. Introduced in the HTML5 spec, but is backwards-compatible with older browsers, which use it only to switch into standards mode.
<!DOCTYPE HTML>[constant] doctype-xhtml-1.0-strict
[constant] doctype-html-4.01-strict
[constant] doctype-xhtml-1.0-transitional
[constant] doctype-html-4.01-transitional
[constant] doctype-xhtml-1.0-frameset
[constant] doctype-html-4.01-frameset
[constant] doctype-html-3.2
[constant] doctype-html-2.0
Strings corresponding to the "obsolete permitted" HTML and XHTML doctypes. In general it is safe to use doctype-html instead, as the doctype is typically only used to switch browsers into standards mode, and all known browsers do this with doctype-html.
;doctype-html-4.01-strict <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">[constant] doctype-html-legacy
Legacy HTML doctype, which should only be emitted by a renderer when it cannot produce the shorter doctype-html. Don't use this.
<!DOCTYPE HTML SYSTEM "about:legacy-compat">[constant] xhtml-1.0-strict
[constant] html-4.01-strict
[constant] xhtml-1.0-transitional
[constant] html-4.01-transitional
[constant] xhtml-1.0-frameset
[constant] html-4.01-frameset
[constant] html-3.2
[constant] html-2.0
Aliases for doctype-*. Deprecated as of doctype version 2.0.
[constant] doctype-rulesA handy ruleset for use with sxml-transforms.
This ruleset contains preorder rules which should be appended/prepended to the universal-conversion-rules because they output raw text which should not be processed again.
Examples
#;1> (use doctype) #;2> (print doctype-html) <!DOCTYPE HTML> #;3> (print doctype-xhtml-1.0-strict) <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> #;4> (use sxml-transforms) #;5> (SRV:send-reply (pre-post-order `((xhtml-1.0-strict) (html (body "blah"))) (append doctype-rules universal-conversion-rules))) <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html> <body>blah</body></html>
