Are there plans for updating BBEdit to include HTML5 documents?

When I create a new HTML document, I have the option of inserting the
DOCTYPE. There is no choice (didn't expect it to yet ;-) for HTML5.

Something like this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">

Thanks,
Linda

There was a big thread on this a couple of weeks ago, and I thought it was
mentioned that Barebones is looking into it.

Of course, if you want it, the best thing to do is to send an email to
<sup...@barebones.com> asking for it.

Sorry for the faux pas. I just downloaded BBEdit and joined this
group. I know that I should do a search first. I have no idea why I
didn't do that this time before asking.

Good to hear that there are plans for the change to include HTML5.

BTW. I haven't studied the drafts of HTML5 much yet...and they aren't
finalized...but I got the impression that the preferred usage of the
doctype was in lower case. I guess I need to do some more studying.

Bucky, check out http://html5boilerplate.com/ - great source to build
with html5 - xplatform.

PS: Patrick any chance on lifting the roadmap curtain regarding html5
docs & attributes?
