Description Petr Jiricka 2005-11-16 17:56:10 UTC 
From John Jullion-Ceccarelli:

"Just noticed that HTML files with the XHTML DTD are showing up as XML
nodes instead of HTML nodes in the IDE. Should they be treated as  HTML
nodes instead? I was pretty surprised to see them as HTML, had just
copied and pasted most of them and didn't know that they were XHTML,
definitely most of the docs that are listed on testwww are not  correctly
structured as XHTML docs. Think that users might be similarly confused."

In particular, the following features are missing:

- Code completion specific for HTML
- Palette with HTML code clips
Comment 1 Petr Pisl 2005-11-16 18:12:24 UTC 
Some things are hardcoded and maybe we will not have time to fix it in nb50
timeframe.
Comment 2 Jiri Kopsa 2005-11-19 15:09:58 UTC 
However, XML features should be retained.

Comment 4 Marek Fukala 2005-11-21 12:17:40 UTC 
I am affraid that the not working CC is caused by Issue #58297. If the DOCTYPE
is correctly defined the CC should work similar to the HTML one. I am also
affraid that preserving the XML features will be hard to achaive once we switch
the XHTML to HTMLDataObject.
Comment 5 Petr Jiricka 2006-07-31 13:12:47 UTC 
I am also afraid that preserving all XML features will be very hard. But given
the choice between HTML features and XML features, HTML are much more important. 
It sounds like the fix for this should be very easy - just a change in the MIME
types. Let's reevaluate for 5.5.

Also, issue 72558 looks very similar to this - possibly a duplicate?

> not working CC is caused by Issue #58297.
Are you sure? That one looks completely unrelated (installer).

Comment 7 Marek Fukala 2006-07-31 15:03:46 UTC 
The "easy fix" with just changing the mime resolver is not that trivial. Once I
do that the HTML DO is used for xhtml files but the CC is still not working -
see issue 58291. Easy workaround for 58291 would be to use the HTML 4.01 DTD
even for the XHTML files which would cause some inconsistences, but the overall
impression would be better.
Comment 8 Marek Fukala 2006-07-31 15:56:59 UTC 
fixed:
---------------
<MIME-resolver>
    <file>
        <ext name="xml"/>
        <resolver mime="application/xhtml+xml">
            <xml-rule>
                <element name="html" ns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"/>
            </xml-rule>
        </resolver>
    </file>
    <file>
        <ext name="html"/>
        <ext name="htm"/>
        <ext name="shtml"/>
        <ext name="xhtml"/>
        <resolver mime="text/html"/>
    </file>
</MIME-resolver>

Comment 9 Marek Fukala 2006-07-31 16:02:34 UTC 
issue 58291 fixed as well so the CC in xhtmls works.
