Template HTML5

Seems that I broke HTML5 support in one of my commits.

This could be related to the libxml version, since the PHP DOM parser uses this library.

Actually, i am quite suspicius of libxml on lots of things ... i will work better on it this weekend =P

We kinda need it. Not a dependency we can rule out =P

Sure not, but we can narrow down the problem to version, environment, compilation parameters or whatever is breaking things down.

Not the first time, not the second and it won't be the last time this kinda thing happens ... =P

Agreed!

It is not clear what this issue refers to, maybe close it and start something more descriptive as to not alarm other new users.

This has boon open for 3 months and I don't have a problem using Template with HTML 5.

Let me add to that last statement:

I have the following above the head element


  <!--[if lt IE 7]> <html class="no-js lt-ie9 lt-ie8 lt-ie7" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
  <!--[if IE 7]>    <html class="no-js lt-ie9 lt-ie8" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
  <!--[if IE 8]>    <html class="no-js lt-ie9" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
  <!--[if gt IE 8]><!--> <html class="no-js" lang="en"> <!--<![endif]-->

Which prevents libxml from adding tag.

This was in fact to support ommiting not found tags and supporting the DOCTYPE declararion. Full HTML5 parsing support is hard, maybe only with html5lib. If we could decouple the DOM from Template and add support for html5lib as an alternative parser, users could choose between performance and support.

Not sure if you noticed, but Respect\Template is very early stage. We were surprised by looking you saying that you've been using it. Even we didn't used the component, only created some tests.

We're also very happy with your contributions! Feels like moving forward.

Just the way I like it raw and untamed =)

I stumbled across HtmlElement and fell in love, what a perfect use of overloading I don't see a better example than this. I like the idea of the template and think this can work with very little added effort.

Are you referring to this html5lib but this project has been dragging on forever and the PHP track hasn't had a change in 3 years. I don't feel like struggling with a new broken DOM parser then I'll rather keep the broken one we have.

What exactly could you not detect in HTML5. I somehow think that QueryPath must have these sorted but more on that in a new issue.
