[ZPT] DOCTYPES and metal

Fri, 01 Mar 2002 12:03:50 +0000

Hi all,
Can someone tell me how you can get a DOCTYPE declaration inserted at the
top of a rendered PageTemplate using metal?

This snippet ignores the DOCTYPE in rendered pages,

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd">
<html metal:define-macro="master">

Whereas this includes the DOCTYPE, but of course, it's in the wrong place

<html metal:define-macro="master">
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd">

Some browsers want to see the DOCTYPE first, so this leads to mis-rendered
pages.

Any ideas?
