Bug Description

When you use a pagetempalte to create a template for all your page tempalte pages with the use of slots, when the page is rendered it loses the <!DOCTYPE> tag at the top of the page. For example:

IF the first two lines of your template with the slots in is:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" metal:define-macro="page">

if you use the slots in another page template that page is rendered to be:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" metal:define-macro="page">

Losing the doctype tag at the top of the page.

Thanks

This issue is a bug in the system which causes many features of style sheets not to work in IE browsers. I therefore consider this a critical issue and was disappointed to see it had been amended to medium importance. Please could you respond to inform why this has been changed to medium importance.

Thank You

The macro you are pulling in from 'test_template' *starts*
with the '<html>' tag: it is never going to pull in content
from *before* that tag.

The usual way to get the <DOCTYPE> prolog pulled in from the main
template is as follows:

 <metal:block metal:define-macro="page"
 ><DOCTYPE .....><html xmlns="....
 ...
 </html>
 </metal:block>
