Allow HTML serializer to output HTML5 DOCTYPE For https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747301 Use simple HTML5 DOCTYPE for about:legacy-compat HTML5 uses a DOCTYPE without a PUBLIC or SYSTEM identifier. It looks like this: <!DOCTYPE html> I can't use XSLT to output this, because to get a DOCTYPE I have to provide a PUBLIC or SYSTEM identifier. Luckily, the standards folks recognized this and provided this semantically equivalent form for the HTML DOCTYPE: <!DOCTYPE html SYSTEM "about:legacy-compat"> But people don't like seeing the "legacy" identifier in their output. They'd rather see the shiny new DOCTYPE. Since we know that about:legacy-compat is defined by the W3C to be semantically equivalent to the sans-SYSTEM DOCTYPE, we could just special-case it in the HTML serializer in libxml2. So if you set the SYSTEM identifier to "about:legacy-compat", you get an HTML5 short-form DOCTYPE.

To build on an Unixised setup:
./configure ; make ; make install
To build on Windows:
see instructions on win32/Readme.txt
To assert build quality:
on an Unixised setup:
run make tests
otherwise:
There is 3 standalone tools runtest.c runsuite.c testapi.c, which
should compile as part of the build or as any application would.
Launch them from this directory to get results, runtest checks
the proper functionning of libxml2 main APIs while testapi does
a full coverage check. Report failures to the list.
