[ZPT] Re: DOCTYPES and metal

Hello, was pointed to this thread in the archives and having an issue 
with implementing it.

If i add to the main_template:

<metal:block define-macro="pre">
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
   <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
</metal:block>
<html metal:define-macro="master"  <snip rest of code>
</html>

and then add to index_html:

<metal:block use-macro="here/main_template/macros/pre"></metal:block>
<html metal:use-macro="here/main_template/macros/master">
<snip rest of code>
</html>

I lose my css.  The <?xml and <!DOCTYPE now show up like I wanted, but 
all my css pulled from the zpt_stylesheet no longer works.  If I removed 
the <metal:block ..."pre">, the css goes back to working correcting.

Any ideas?

Peter
