HTML5 autocomplete and validation in Netbeans 7.0

Question

I'm editing an HTML file in NetBeans 7.0. Is there a way to specify that I'm working with HTML5 document so it can do auto-complete and spell check accordingly to HTML5 spec?

For example, when I start typing <br it suggests to complete it with <br> and then close it with </br>. It's a bit annoying.

Thank you.

yeah just edit the doctype definition at the beginning of the html document . put this

"!DOCTYPE html"

instead of this :

!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

netbeans will then auto complete for you.

Hmm, it does not work for me. I have HTML5 definition but it still autocompletes with <br> instead of <br />.

is for strict version of html5... ie xml version.

If you want to use html5 then
doesnt require a forward slash to close it. Read HTML5 docs for specs
