[TYPO3-english] huge problem with doctype in 4.7 - completely stuck

Fri Jun 15 18:52:38 CEST 2012

hello all,

i'm trying to get a very simple site to work. Everything was working 
fine until i updated my Templavoila template this morning, i didn't 
change anything in the head of the document but now suddenly i get this 
problem:

when i look at the source code in any browser i do not have a correct 
doctype declaration anymore, yesterday i had a normal html5 doctype 
(which i thought was standard in 4.7), today instead i get:

<!DOCTYPE html
     PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html lang="en">

to solve this, in my template file i tried removing the doctype 
completely, overriding it in the setup of my template or declaring it in 
my html template.

I checked on Mac, PC, and all available browsers (not being logged into 
the BE of course) but there seems to be no way to get it back to html5 ...

cleaned temp files, cleared caches, updated TV templates, reuploaded 
files, remapped TV .. nothing helps

what am i missing ????
