All, I know there are three types of DTD for HTML 4.01 (strict, transitional, and frameset). And I knew the DTD defines the syntax of markup constructs and the document structure with a list of legal elements and attributes.
So why is DTD missing in HTML 5? Isn’t it necessary for HTML 5 document? Or no need to specify DTD for HTML5 because of only one DTD for HTML 5 by default ? Any special reason for removing DTD for HTML5?
Thanks
HTML5 is not an application of SGML, therefore it doesn’t need an SGML DTD. I’m pretty sure that there are some things in HTML5 that are illegal in SGML, so even if you wanted to, you couldn’t create an SGML DTD for HTML5.
