With this contribution is possible in Quanta to select HTML5 as DTD
(Menu DTD > Change DTD > HTML5) and the new toolbars will be
displayed with new icons that will insert the corresponding tag. Icons
for all HMTL5 tabs are included. The templates are also included. The
names used for the toolbars were already in the translation file, it is
not necessary to add new translations to have it e.g. in Spanish.
Things to do if there is help from others:
- The "dtep" (whose function is to suggest attributes according to the
label) need to be improved (at the moment not all new HTML5 attributes
are incorporated and legacy attributes from HTML4 remain). I can do it
little by little in my spare time, of course help is welcome to speed it
up.
- "Source editor" mode is fully functional. "Preview" mode works
(actually only the common tags between HTML4 and HTML5 work but it
encompasses all the most used ones, the HTML engine I guess doesn't
support HTML5). The "VPL editor" mode refuses to activate if HTML5 is
selected as DTD (no crash, just not activatable). Although providing
HTML5 support for the web engine and the VPL editor is a more
complicated job, it should be possible in the short term to modify the
VPL editor sources so that it interprets HTML5 like HTML4 without
refusing to activate.
- With HTML4 as default DTD, opening a new tab with the new document
(HTML4) adds the HTML4 toolbars to the HTML5 toolbars (9 toolbars in
total). I'm not sure why, I think it can be easy to fix. With Menu DTD
> Change DTD > HTML5, the extra HTML4 toolbars disappear.
Thanks to all the people who make it possible to have TDE in general and Quanta in particular working today.
