Chrome doesn't render xhtml?

Wednesday, 1 August 2018

Open local xhtml files in chrome, however, chrome treats it as XML files, and won't render it as HTML.

I don't want to change all my *.xhtml file extension to .html, so is there any workaround?

EXAMPLE

a.xhtml:

    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

    
        Example
    
    
        Hello, 
        World!

Answer

Because you declared XHTML-1.0 strict your html tag needs an xml namespace:

A few other validation issues: you need a character set declaration and your text needs a

around it.


  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

    
        Example
    
    
      
        Hello, 
        World!
