Question

I am having issues getting Sitecore 6.6 to support HTML 5 layouts and rich text content. I have followed the instructions here, but I still receive validation errors in the admin tools. Has anyone had any luck using HTML 5 with Sitecore? Does anyone know if Sitecore 7 supports HTML 5? Thank you!

Was it helpful?

Solution

Yes, you can use HTML5 templates with Sitecore, I am doing so now. You will want to remove the XHTML validation from your workflow. To do so navigate to: System -> Settings -> Validation Rules -> Global Rules Scroll down to workflow and simply remove the Full Page XHtml rule as shown here:

You might go to the next level and create your own HTML5 validation rule... or (fingers crossed) Sitecore will be creating one soon.

You can also reference Stephen Pope's answer - that's where I learned this handy trick.
