HTML5 self-closing tags show as error in view-source (even with new parser) Steps to Reproduce 1. Set html5.enable to true in about:config, restart Firefox. 2. View source on the following HTML5 validating page: http://ejohn.org/ Actual Behaviour Self-closing tags are marked as errors. Expected Behaviour Self-closing tags are not marked as errors due to item 6 here: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/syntax.html#start-tags Sorry if this is a misunderstanding on my part, I thought it was better to report it on the (no doubt slim) off-chance that it really is a bug.
Depends on: 482921
Henri, we don't use the new parser for view-source, right?
We don't. Need to remember this when fixing bug 482921.
