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

Don't forget you don't need to enclose the DOCTYPE declaration in <% %>
tags... just like any content (e.g. <title>bla</title>) you can use it in
the clear:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
	<head>...</head>
	<body>...</body>
</html>

Yes, thanks, you are right. Used <%="<!DOCTYPE ....."%> and my page now
appears quite garbled by in the browser - now, that I have defined a DOCTYPE
:-)
