Yes, generating xhtml adds:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
As the doctype header, so everything is working fine locally (albeit I need
to cleanup/modify a lot of our SVG's to make them platform independent, but
that's a whole other issue), but I assume there's no way I can test it with
Boost's webserver until we actually produce a release, which is a little
late.
However, now that you've jogged my memory(!), I see there are some docbook
xsl params for setting the document type and adding:
<xsl:param>chunker.output.doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
<xsl:param>chunker.output.doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"
To the build options produces output which looks OK locally, and as it's
HTML it doesn't need to be served as xml either, so I think that's problem
solved!
Thanks! John.
PS You could use the above mechanism to get a HTML 5 doctype - however it's
unlikely that boostbook actually generates valid HTML?
