How do you specify the html5 doctype with Python Chameleon?

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13746872

Question

I've thoroughly RTFMed and Googled for this, and I can't seem to find the answer. I am new to Chameleon, so maybe it's just so obvious that it's no where to be found, but when I put

<!DOCTYPE html>

in my master template, the rendered page has it stripped out resulting in the dreaded quirksmode.

Is there a trick that I'm missing?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Figured it out. You need to wrap the entire master template in a metal tag like so: <metal:macro metal:define-macro="layout"> <!DOCTYPE html> ... </html></metal:macro>
