[opencms-dev] Where to put a statement issueing the DOCTYPE?

[Jonathan Woods]

I just use inline content :-).  There may be a convenience JSP tag, but I
don't recall one, nor do I think it would save time/help much.  There are so
many possibilities, in theory changing faster than the JSP spec or the
OpenCms taglib, and you've still got to choose the right doctype for your
circumstance.

OK, fine, but isn't there a JSP tag for outputting the DOCTYPE statement?
Or would I use inline code?
