CMS Made Simple Forums

If I may chime in: What’s the problem to just change the doctype in your templates? Those two words aren’t a big deal, are they?

Despite that I’d like to use XHTML strict as well but all the popular WYSIWYG editors are producing deprecated and invalid code (like , , etc.) and I just have to use transitional. Why can’t those programmers just correct those “bugs”? 

And I think it’s impractical to run your pages in quirks mode… OK, with simple layouts it might work but if it’s getting more complex IE is always making problems…

What’s the problem to just change the doctype in your templates? Those two words aren’t a big deal, are they?

As I've responded above already, it's not just changing the doctype; by default, CMSMS outputs meta tags with a closing slash on the end, which makes them invalid for the HTML doctype. And yes, you can then hack another line which stops the closing slashes; but my point was: wouldn't this be easier if we could just choose it as an option rather than having to hack the templates? It's not a big deal, I'm not putting any kind of priority on it, I just think it would be nice and convenient.
