Adding Syntax section
Here, in the HTML6 documentation, there is nearly no desc. of the syntax - only a reference to HTML5 and the Section 4 - Tag types. But full documentation has to include it. Here's a list of syntax articles:
- [ ] what is a tag, what are attributes
- tag in layman's terms
- tag types [PARTIALLY]
- attributes in layman's terms
- normative description of tag
- normative description of attributes
- regular expersion
- [ ] namespaces (+how to include)
- [ ] how to parse wrong code
At this point we don't know anything about namespaces. Will there be something like xmlns? Or will they be included in doctype like this: <!DOCTYPE html,form>? And what languages to use to define new namespaces?
Only the two you mentioned, and yes, we for sure should have a syntax. section.
And, I don't think we need to include it in the DOCTYPE. The point of having namespaces is that you, as a developer, don't have to worry about future namespaces. Is there a benefit you see in having them manually listed out?
@OscarGodson Listing namespaces is just a XML habit. It's useful for browser - to know what API to load. Eg <!DOCTYPE html,svg> would mean load "html" and "svg" APIs. If you wouldn't list it, browser would treat svg tags as ordinary semantic tags and therefore would not render the picture.
@philandy Yep, thats also a solution.
@m93a, Oscar's HTML6 is not XHTML; we should be able to assume default behavior for certain tags beyond the namespaces.
