Where are itemscope and itemtype defined

Postby mozillanerd » Tue Apr 30, 2013 9:24 pm

I have not been able to find where itemscope and itemtype are defined. I have not found a DTD for HTML5 and there does not seem to be one.
Thanks

The problem I am trying to solve is that of driving a validator. With a DTD you can, with a spec, I don't know. I have seen Microsofts attempt at defining a DTD for HTML5 -incomplete and inaccurate <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/
xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

I can use the validator from validator.whatwg.org/‎.

Thanks for the sanswer

The doctype is viewed by many to be legacy and it's been almost completely deprecated. The problem is that what version of HTML does the HTML5 doctype represent? Right now just HTML5 but the lack of a version declaration is the explicit equivalent of Microsoft's *.* HTTP accept header for IE7 when in fact IE did not even support XHTML. While browsers do not define HTML by a version it still creates conflict with validators because HTML < HTML6+.

Thanks!
I am seeking the grammar used by the WHATWG validator; otherwise, the code would suffice.

The code is at https://github.com/validator/validator

See e.g. https://github.com/validator/validator/search?utf8=✓&q=itemscope (it seems it uses RELAXNG and custom Java code to validate microdata)
