LiveWhale

Enabling HTML5

How to enable HTML5 for your web pages.

This setting can be adjusted using the master LiveWhale configuration. (Please see “Configuring LiveWhale” for more information.)

Since HTML5 is a work in progress, this feature is experimental and should only be used for testing purposes or if you are sure that your user base is ready to adopt HTML5 content. Once HTML5 support is ready in all browsers, we expect to be able to enable this feature more broadly.

Open the master LiveWhale config (/livewhale/core/config.php) using an FTP client or via the command line.

Change the “ENABLE_HTML5” flag from false to true.

Once pages expire from the page cache, they will automatically begin using the HTML5 doctype.
