Subject: [ruby-core:47652] [ruby-trunk - Feature #6637] Add HTML5 support to CGI


Issue #6637 has been updated by stomar (Marcus Stollsteimer).


=begin
Hi Takeyuki,

have you come to any conclusions?

In case you consider support of all new HTML5 tags,
including <header>, I would be willing to provide
a new set of patches:

- first patch to rename `CGI#header` to `CGI#http_header`
(breaking downward compatibility)

- second patch to provide full HTML5 support at once

Regards,
Marcus

Feature #6637: Add HTML5 support to CGI

=begin
The attached patch adds support for HTML 5, providing
the doctype <!DOCTYPE html> and the tag helpers for the
new HTML elements (article, section, ...).

Changes were made in
* `lib/cgi/core.rb'
* `lib/cgi/html.rb'

Tests were added to
* `test/cgi/test_cgi_core.rb'

((*Notice:*)) the new HTML5 `header' element has ((*not*)) been added,
because it collides with the already defined CGI#header
method that creates the HTTP header block.
To avoid unreflected addition of this element, a test has
been included to make sure that CGI#header won't break.


Detailed list of changes in `html.rb' (in comparison to HTML 4 strict):

* doctype changed
* new elements added
* removed elements: tt, big, acronym
* void elements: area, base, br, col, command, embed, hr, img, input, keygen, link, meta, param, source, track, wbr
* new elements with optional end tag: optgroup, rt, rp

See the Editor's Draft of the HTML5 specification (15 June 2012):
((<URL:http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/>)).
