This package lists known doctypes and exposes a function to turn a fuzzy name
(such as html, 5) into a corresponding doctype.
This package is rather niche, using something other than <!doctype html> is
almost never needed anymore.
This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 14.14+, 16.0+), install with npm:
npm install doctypeIn Deno with esm.sh:
import {doctype} from 'https://esm.sh/doctype@3'In browsers with esm.sh:
<script type="module">
import {doctype} from 'https://esm.sh/doctype@3?bundle'
</script>import {doctype} from 'doctype'
console.log(doctype(5)) // => 'html'
console.log(doctype(4.01))
console.log(doctype('4.01t'))
console.log(doctype('4.01 Transitional'))
console.log(doctype('HTML 4.01 Transitional'))
// => 'HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"'
console.log(doctype('svg'))
// => 'svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"'This package exports the identifiers doctype and doctypes.
There is no default export.
Get a doctype from a fuzzy doctype name.

}This package is fully typed with TypeScript. It exports no additional types.
This package is at least compatible with all maintained versions of Node.js. As of now, that is Node.js 14.14+ and 16.0+. It also works in Deno and modern browsers.
This package is safe.
