setting a doctype (regarding self-closing tags produced by plugins)
Hi,
something just popped into my mind… Let’s say I’ve got a plugin that’s outputting a list of images. Now how does the plugin know wether it should self-close the tags (<img ... />) or not (<img ...>)? That depends on the doctype. Same thing with css-links in the head and some other things I right now can’t think of. So what about a property “doctype” or, simpler “self-close tags”?

It doesn’t. The plugin author would need to add that as an attribute setting for the tag; I do that with mine. A preference like:
Markup output: XHTML () or HTML ()
would be nice.

I also suggested something similar to Mary’s suggestion.
