Dreamweaver permitts you to change the DOCTYPE of the current opened file on-the-fly. That's a very nice enhancement to have, since sometimes, when designing a email marketing template, you need to go old school HTML or most of the times, you want to change from XHTML transitional to strict, and you have to change the code to yourself. Make it so, you can change the doctype of the opened file, no matter the extension. Dreamweaver, when it does not find a DOCTYPE, it automatically adds it to the top of the file, along with the correct <html> modifications.] And XHTML strict should be default for any files created. When I'm using a buffering on PHP, with ob_start() / ob_get_clean(), the <br> stays as <br>, and not <br /> for example. I cannot add a DOCTYPE to every PHP file just because I want the HTML to be XHTML strict Also, would be nice to change the file encoding for example from ISO to UTF-8 and the entire file get's encoded correctly, like Dreamweaver does it.
