Description Wilbert Berendsen 2004-05-12 20:59:11 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

currently kde's magic maps a file starting with <!-- to text/html, which causes a lot of DTD files to be recognized as HTML. RFC 3023 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3023.txt specifies that DTDs should carry the mimetype application/xml-dtd.

This would make it easier for katepart to highlight DTDs correctly, and not as HTML (when viewed on the web).

I suppose that kio/kfile is misleading as category.
Comment 2 Nicolas Goutte 2005-07-23 19:55:14 UTC 
SVN commit 437958 by goutte:

Define application/xml-dtd (part of RFC 3023)
Note: RFC 3023 allows also *.mod as file name pattern, however these are
sound files too. (So there are skipped here.)

(I leave the bug open, as I do not know if it completly fixes bug #81450.)

Comment 3 Pino Toscano 2008-06-11 13:34:08 UTC 
KDE 3.5 is frozen for such addition, and KDE 4 uses the shared-mime-info database that includes this MIME type.
Although, this MIME type is present only in shared-mime-info 0.30, so you need at least this version for it.
