Subject: Valid HTML5 and the generated body tag
Feedback Type: Question
Product Area: Domino Server
Technical Area: Application Development
Platform: Windows
Release: 8.5.3
Reproducible: Always

I just tried to validate a Domino generated HTML page as HTML5 (pasting the source into the W3C validator and changing doctype to <!DOCTYPE HTML>) and immediately got a bunch of errors to do with obsolete HTML attributes, specifically, bgcolor and text get added to the body tag which is invalid in HTML5.

Is there a 'best practice' for how to stop Domino from adding things like this to the generated HTML? I've read about closing the default body tag and opening another one, or adding <!-- and --> around a $$HTMLHead field which effectively comments out what Domino generates, but these solutions both seem a bit hacky.
