Can anyone tell me how you add additional XML namespaces to an HTML 5 document?
I'm trying to create an HTML 5 version of the following
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:og="http://ogp.me/ns#"
xmlns:fb="https://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">
Is it simply a case of dropping the xhtml namespace:
<html xmlns:og="http://ogp.me/ns#"
xmlns:fb="https://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">
Thanks.
According to the WHATWG, in html 5 you are permitted to use the xmlns attribute on each html element as long as the namespace is http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml (the namespace of the document)
Will there be support for namespaces in HTML?
HTML is being defined in terms of the
DOM and during parsing of a text/html
all HTML elements will be
automatically put in the HTML
namespace,
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml. However,
unlike the XHTML serialization, there
is no real namespace syntax available
in the HTML serialization (see
previous question). In other words,
you do not need to declare the
namespace in your HTML markup, as you
do in XHTML. However, you are
permitted to put an xmlns attribute on
each HTML element as long as the
namespace is
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
