Bug Description

The serverguide build process now results in two doctype directives instead of 1. This did not occur a couple of years ago, and still does not occur in the basic build step with yelp-build. Therefore the issue is likely introduced during the post build Makefile manipulations in the language substitution step. i.e. the sed command is messed up.

I am not aware of any negative side effects.

Example: This:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang=en>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

should be this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang=en>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

The same is true for the desktop guide. Just pushed a change to trunk, but I don't bother to change the branches for released versions.

@Gunnar : you are too fast for me. I would have checked out desktop docs eventually, particularity since that is where I stole that part of the Serverguide Makefile from in the first place.

Because builds with a 14.04 computer used to work fine and that part of the Makefile is so old, I can only assume that yelp-build didn't use to put in the doctype directive, but that now it does. However, I'm not going waste time figuring it out for certain.

:) I made a mental note about it when we played with Makefile the other day. Your bug report served as a reminder.
