DocType

This website contains links to software which is either no longer maintained or will be supported only until the end of 2019 (CKFinder 2). For the latest documentation about current CKSource projects, including software like CKEditor 4/CKEditor 5, CKFinder 3, Cloud Services, Letters, Accessibility Checker, please visit the new documentation website.

If you look for an information about very old versions of CKEditor, FCKeditor and CKFinder check also the CKEditor forum, which was closed in 2015. If not, please head to StackOverflow for support.

This option sets the DOCTYPE to be used in the editable area. The actual rendering depends on the value set here.

For example, to make the editor rendering engine work under the XHTML 1.0 Transitional:

FCKConfig.DocType = '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">' ;

As of FCKeditor 2.6.1, if the DocType setting is explicetlly set to the HTML4 doctype, the editor will not produce tags like <br /> but <br> instead.
