Bug Description

Binary package hint: gedit

I type code:
'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="pl" dir="ltr">
</html>'

and it is recognized as HTML, '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>' is not highlighted, just like '<?xml-stylesheet type="..."?>' when I add this too. This is a bug because, the code is not HTML, but XHTML, so of course XML too. This is annoying, because of not highlighting '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>' and '<?xml-stylesheet type="..."?>'.

Firstly, I open new gedit window, type:
'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>'
ans click Ctrl+S, I save it as 'proba.xht' (polish word, nvm), then I put this below current content:
'<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="pl" dir="ltr">
 <head>
  <title>Document</title>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="application/xhtml+xml; charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;"/>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="pl"/>
 </head>
 <body>
  <div>
   <p/>
  </div>
 </body>
</html>'
I click Ctrl+S, and then mall caption on the status bar turns 'HTML'.

that's likely to be known upstream as per bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163999 ; gedit doesn't recognize the encoding by the headers (xml in this case) that's why it's showing the issue here, linking that report, thanks.

summary: - XML code is recognized as HTML, <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
- not highlighted.
