Support HTML5 syntax

[noegry]

Could Django provides a way to render forms in HTML5 syntax? It now render forms in XHTML syntax as 

<input.../>

Or could it in the settings provides an option as USE_HTML5 for applying that?

[Florian Apolloner]

That is not just XHTML but perfectly valid HTML5.

Cheers,
Florian

But I don't sure that when it's using XHTML and HTML5 syntax together and it should use one syntax for rending views.

It might cause issues when templates are using HTML5 syntax but forms are using XHTML syntax?

Browsers are extremely good at parsing whatever gets thrown at them. They accept a mix of self-closing and unclosed tags easily.

If you can describe a use case where self-closing tags create an actual, reproducible problem, then we’ll have a discussion.

If you were just asking for the purity of the generated HTML, we have chosen not to bother as long as pages work.

The forms are not using XHTML syntax per se, they are valid HTML5 and valid XHTML!
