also end tags for body and html :))
Did I say "minimalist"? I should've just said "lazy". :)
In that, I'm too curmudgeonly to un-learn my old XHTML habits of self-closing slashes, </body>, and </html> tags.
i've felt for years that the basic html template got too complicated for no apparent reason. i can understand why things had to be declared (i.e. xhtml) but there really wasn't a need for that to be a 150 char string. reminds me of when i first learned html in 96/97, when i thoroughly enjoyed it, yay! :)
Agreed. Back to basics, FTW. :)
Great!
I´ll only change one letter, so that fits for me:
lang="eS"
;-P
So lazy there aren't any indents either. Surprised you didn't post this in Haml.
Yeah, if I'm writing HTML, I don't indent anything until the 2nd level of nestedness inside <body>, since every site has <html>, <head>, and <body>, I'm not usually visually scanning to find them. I tend to be focused on the "meat" of the page... the tags inside <body>.
I take this minus the self-closing slashes, then add in HTML5 Boilerplate as needed. Thanks!
I just use Serve w/ my bootstrap. Deploy's to Heroku in minutes too.
@adamstac — Agreed. Serve is awesome.
But, it's overkill if I just want to have a valid HTML document to test something real quick. Chrome seems to not just like HTML snippets without at least an html tag around 'em.
For instance, a few days ago, I was verifying a Formalize (http://formalize.me) bug reported in WebKit, so I put this in my minimal HTML template, tested it on the desktop, and then deleted it...
<!--
Other browsers only see size="2" and
higher, so they treat this as a single
select drop-down, but WebKit always
responds to size="..." attribute.
-->
<select>
<option>...</option>
<option>...</option>
</select>
<select size="0">
<option>...</option>
<option>...</option>
</select>
<select size="1">
<option>...</option>
<option>...</option>
</select>
In instances like that, setting up Serve would've been more effort than it's worth. So, that's why I keep a handy flat-file template at arm's length.
Pf. You call yourself a minimalist with those fancy-dancy closing slashes in there?
