Bug#1032293: debian-timeline: validation errors in timeline.debian.net



Control: retitle -1 Using <!DOCTYPE html> makes timeline empty (only header and footer are displayed)

Hello again
After researching a bit more, I think that the timeline software is not compatible with HTML5, at least the way it's used by debian-timeline.

Similar issue was raised long time ago to upstream project:

https://code.google.com/archive/p/simile-widgets/issues/450

with no answer :-/

I think I'll leave this bug here, my HTML/js skills are not enough to try to solve it, and rename it to reflect that the only validation issue left is the HTML5 doctype compatibility.

Kind regards

Hello again

I have committed the changes and later removed the DOCTYPE declaration, and it seems all the validation erros have been gone, except the one about the DOCTYPE declaration.

I don't know which DOCTYPE is the best one to use with the timeline.
I've had searched for info in
http://simile-widgets.org/timeline/
https://github.com/simile-widgets/timeline/
https://groups.google.com/g/simile-widgets
and I guess we can use <DOCTYPE html> but we would need to make some adjustments to correctly load the xml files with the events, releases and release eras.

I'll continue working on this.

Kind regards,

Followup-For: Bug #1032293

Hello, I have tried to fix the validation errors with commit
8d6c753ecb6be22915a9c8430b3db50ec1a566a3 (patch attached), but deploying it in
timeline.debian.net resulted in the headers and footers of the page being
rendered, but not the actual body with the timeline of events (i.e. the same result than installing the package locally (bugs #1032166 and maybe #655664 (this time in Firefox too)) . So I guess more fixes are needed. I'll try to
work on this.

Kind regards
