HTML5 support
David Pollak
I just checked in code for dpp_issue_714, also known as support for HTML5. Basically, to get HTML5 support:
LiftRules.htmlProperties.default.set((r: Req) => new Html5Properties(r.userAgent))
This changes out the parser from the standard Scala XML parser to the nu.validator.htmlparser parser. It also changes the DocType to <!DOCTYPE html> and the Content-Type to text/html. The internal XML representation is converted to HTML using a new routing as well. The new routine emits "the right thing" for the various classes of tags (including "void" tags).
I've converted the examples/example code to HTML5. The following changes are necessary:
- All tags are converted to lower case. This means the <lift:FooBar/> gets converted to <lift:foobar/> I advise converting to designer friendly where possible (e.g., <div class="lift:FooBar"></div>)
- Tags of the format <div/> and <my_thing:bind/> are not legal. They must be converted to <div></div> and <my_thing:bind></my_thing:bind> Unfortunately, the parser is very forgiving so rather than barking about the lack of closing tag, the parser will nest things in unexpected ways.
- There are some tags that the parser "ensures". For example a <tr> or <tbody> tag *must* be the first tag inside <table>. This breaks the <table><mysnippet:line><tr><td><mysnippet:bind_here></mysnippet:bind_here></td></tr></mysnippet:line><table> paradigm. You can get the desired behavior with <table><tr lift:bind="mysnippet:line"><td><mysnippet:bind_here></mysnippet:bind_here></td></tr><table>.
Thanks,
David

I guess so... you can check out more on http://about.validator.nu/htmlparser/ This parser is considered the best HTML5 parser around by the likes of John Resig.
