Hi

I have looked at the html.tpl file for the drupal 7 system in the modules folder and also for the html5 ready omega theme. The html.tpl file in the alpha part of the omega file looks to be the same regarding the doctype as the core html file. So I am wondering if I am to develop a theme and for it to be html5 compatible do I need to touch the html.tpl core system file.

Any questions you have on this just let me know.

Thanks
Jimmel

So I take it that nobody knows the answer to this. Also I am guessing that html 5 is not built into the core and that the html.tpl file needs to be changed somehow.

HTML 5 is not built into core yet... But it has been announced that Drupal 8 will be using HTML 5.

If you would like to build a HTML 5 only site you would need to override quite a few theme template files for it to be perfect but it is not impossible.

If I wanted to implement html 5 in a drupal 7 (eg corporate) theme, what files would need to be overridden. I know something would need to go into the html.tpl file. But what other files need to be changed and what needs to be put in these files.
