i'm writing small application in java uses xom output xhtml.
the problem xom places following tag before html:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> i've read documentation, can't seem find how remove tag. guys.
edit: i'm outputting file using xom's serializer class
follow up: if practice use xml tag before doctype, why don't websites use it? also, why w3c validator give me , error when sees xml tag? here error:
illegal processing instruction target (found xml) finally, if put xml tag before doctype, mean don't have specify <meta charset="utf-8" /> in html header?
the tag valid xml , xhtml, , good practice. there should no reason remove it.
just leave there ... or fix whatever is expecting not there.
if don't believe me, take @ excerpt xhtml 1.1 spec.
"example of xhtml 1.1 document
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd xhtml 1.1//en" "http://www.w3.org/tr/xhtml11/dtd/xhtml11.dtd"> <html version="-//w3c//dtd xhtml 1.1//en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema-instance" xsi:schemalocation="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml http://www.w3.org/markup/schema/xhtml11.xsd" > <head> <title>virtual library</title> </head> <body> <p>moved <a href="http://example.org/">example.org</a>.</p> </body> </html> note in example, xml declaration included. xml declaration 1 above not required in xml documents. xhtml document authors should use xml declarations in documents. xhtml document authors must use xml declaration when character encoding of document other default utf-8 or utf-16 , no encoding specified higher-level protocol."
by way, w3c validation service says ok ... if there whitespace before <?xml ...?> tag complains.
