When I use validator.w3c.org on my page it complains that no DOCTYPE is set. But the PageTemplate (metal master) looks like this:: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html metal:define-macro="standard" tal:define="dummy python:request.RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type','text/html;; charset=iso-8859-1');dummy here/StopCache"> <head> .... Why does it not recognize my DOCTYPE?

Because it lacks the DTD. Use the following: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> Reference: http://www.alistapart.com/stories/doctype/ HTH, fonso

Why does it not recognize my DOCTYPE? I expect the validator complains for a page that has been built using the macro, right?
In this case, you use from your template only the defined macro and this does not contain the doctype declaration. There has been a ZPT feature request to declare the complete template as a macro, including the doctype declaration. However, I fear, it has never been implemented. Dieter

Just to expand on this a bit, the upshot is that each ZPT instance needs to provide its own explicit DOCTYPE declaration since there is no way (currently) to include a DOCTYPE via macros. At least, that's my experience and my interpretation of what Dieter said. -- Fred Yankowski fred@ontosys.com tel: +1.630.879.1312 OntoSys, Inc PGP keyID: 7B449345 fax: +1.630.879.1370 www.ontosys.com 38W242 Deerpath Rd, Batavia, IL 60510-9461, USA

You can easily use included doctypes with the current implementation. As you may use properly namespaced roll-your-own xml-elements in ZPTs, there is really no need to tie your macros to the html-element... <metal:page use-macro="here/standard_template.pt/macros/page"> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:tal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/tal" xmlns:metal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/metal" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> <head> <title>etc..</title> </head> etc... and remember to close the page-element aswell.. </metal:page> -- Geir Bækholt geir@funcom.com Web Application/HCI-developer Product Operations Funcom Oslo

Aha, you're right, and that's the trick. Actually, I'm surprised that ZPT allows a DOCTYPE declaration appear in the content of any element; is that well-formed XML?
<metal:page use-macro="here/standard_template.pt/macros/page">
Shouldn't that be a define-macro attribute (and appropriate value) in that metal:page tag, rather than use-macro? -- Fred Yankowski fred@ontosys.com tel: +1.630.879.1312 OntoSys, Inc PGP keyID: 7B449345 fax: +1.630.879.1370 www.ontosys.com 38W242 Deerpath Rd, Batavia, IL 60510-9461, USA

( http://zope.nipltd.com/public/lists/zope-archive.nsf/ByKey/2F2087986BB1E751 ) ZPTs do not have to be well-formed XML if the content-type is not text/xml ..
<metal:page use-macro="here/standard_template.pt/macros/page">

yes, could be that aswell.. My example is from a ZPT *using* the macro. You will of course use define-macro in the page-template defining it... ;) -- Geir Bækholt geir@funcom.com Tools/HCI-developer Tools/Billing - Product Operations Funcom Oslo
