WST html capitalization of tags [message #102865]

The WST parsing is ignoring my DOCTYPE. I've specified that its xhtml 1.1,
and yet it still is saying that <html> is not properly capitalized. Under
the W3C spec, tags are case sensitive, and most (if not all) are lowercase.

Where can I change it to make them lowercase so it doesn't mark all my
code as incorrect?

This sounds strange. I'm unclear on what you mean by "ignoring your
DOCTYPE"... In xhtml the tags should be lowercase right? So uppercase
tags should be marked as errors.
Is your <html> tag lowercase, and you still get an error message?
What does your doctype tag look like?
Does the error appear in the problems view, or only as a "squiggle" in
the editor?
What's the error message?

The preference for this is under "window > preferences > web and xml >
html files > html source" Then you can change the case of the tags in
your document with the cleanup feature (from the context menu or
ctrl+shift+L)

Perhaps the problem you are seeing is:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=88896

Though according to the bug report, that should have been fixed M4.

My tags are all lowercase. Its marking the uppercase tags as errors.
Here is a screenshot.

No, you rock for using the html editor :)

So were you using a pre-M4 build? Because if this still exists in M4,
please reopen the bug.

I got M4 last night, and it worked flawlessly.
