Steps to Reproduce:

Prior to the most recent Insiders update I did not have this issue

1. open an html file fragment, e.g. code meant to be used as an include or an AngularJS view, which has no Doctype, html, head or body tags
2. gives you a warning:

My project has an .htmlhintrc file which says not to apply this rule:

{
    "tagname-lowercase": true,
    "attr-lowercase": ["viewBox", "test"],
    "attr-value-double-quotes": true,
    "doctype-first": false,
    "tag-pair": true,
    "spec-char-escape": true,
    "id-unique": true,
    "src-not-empty": true,
    "attr-no-duplication": true,
    "style-disabled": false
}

But I get the error anyway.

Any plans on fixing this? It's making the extension unusable for me since I'm editing templates within Vue components

EDIT: I found a workaround, just add the rules manually in your vscode settings

"htmlhint.options": {
    "doctype-first": false
}

Less than ideal but at least it's usable now :)

I get this same issue, but I'm just using the CLI fyi. Likely an issue upstream with htmlhint :+1:

@amin125 you need to set all the options "htmlhint.options": { "tagname-lowercase": true, "attr-lowercase": true, "attr-value-double-quotes": true, "doctype-first": false, "tag-pair": true, "spec-char-escape": true, "id-unique": true, "src-not-empty": true, "attr-no-duplication": true, "title-require": true },
