Setting DOCTYPE in Domino


HTML • Lotus Notes Form

How can you change the doctype in Lotus Notes/Domino for the whole site or just one page? There is a solution IF you are using Domino 7.0.2 or higher. There are a couple of new web-specific system fields you can use on an as-needed basis. If you are on a version before 7.0.2, though, the notes.ini setting is the only way to get the complete doctype with elements treated as Notes content.

$$HTMLFrontMatter is used for text that is to appear before the <html> tag (for all intents and purposes, that means the doctype declaration), and overrides any normal server output; and

$$HTMLTagAttributes is used to set attributes of the <html> tag, such as language and charset -- handy for meeting accessibility guidelines.
