gatsby-plugin-doctype

Change the DOCTYPE of HTML files in Gatsby. By default, Gatsby adds <!DOCTYPE html> to the start to every HTML file it generates. You can now edit the html portion.

Install

npm install gatsby-plugin-doctype

How to use

Include the plugin in your gatsby-config.js file and use the doctype option.

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: `gatsby-plugin-doctype`,
      options: {
        doctype: 'HTML',
      },
    },
  ],
}

If you want to use something like HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd" you’ll need to make sure that you wrap the option with single quotes/backticks or escape the quotes.

Run a gatsby build as this plugin only changes files with the onPostBuild lifecycle.

You can see the finished result in the HTML files inside public.
