Simplest HTML5 template for examples in print - templates

I'm going to be printing out a bunch of HTML5 examples that will be presented in a book format. With this constraint, space is at a premium, so every line I can remove is helpful. I'd like a minimal setup that is clear, but correct, and won't steer anyone down the wrong path.
This is the template I have so far:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
<!-- examples... -->
</body>
</html>
I see <meta charset="utf-8"> in every html5 template on the web. Obviously it's best practice to keep it in, but is it so important that I can't remove it, even if it doesn't affect the examples I've provided. Likewise with <!doctype html>.
I could always provide a more robust example in the introduction, but as I expect people to cut-and-paste examples, I'd prefer to have them in a good, but concise, form. Thanks.

You've got to have the DOCTYPE, otherwise HTML5 type stuff won't work in certain browsers (notably IE9). It would probably be safe to leave out the charset - it's not like you can guarantee what charset your readers will be saving the examples in anyway. You will have to add a title element to the head - the document is not valid without it.

How does one use Live Templates inside File Templates in IntelliJ IDEA?

I'm trying to change the default header in Intellij IDEA Community 2016.1
/**
* Created by ${USER} on ${DATE}.
*/
to have a date variable print an ISO 8601 date format instead of their usual platform-and-locale-dependent format. It's proving to be pretty damn difficult.
There's a configuration described in the help file, "Enable Live Templates" which supposedly enables live template variable parsing in file templates, so I made a very simple live variable, made it work in the editor, but I can't figure out how to make it work in file templates, not even by looking at their source code. I brute-forced everything I've read about Velocity templates, escaping, $variable, $variable$, #set directives, and all the combinations above... No dice.
Does anybody know what's going on? Or am I wrong about what that checkbox does?
Thanks in advance.
Take a look at the HTML file template that comes by default:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>#[[$Title$]]#</title>
</head>
<body>
#[[$END$]]#
</body>
</html>
Wrap your vars like #[[$VAR$]]#

Does fragments currently work in sdk v0.2.6?

I've tried putting my fragments in {root}/fragments/myFragment.html and also {root}/src/fragments/myFragment.html and neither seemed to work.
Also from my behaviors.css
.tableFragment{
-randori-fragment: "fragments/tableFragment.html";
}
and I can't seem to get things going. Is there a missing step? Finally my view:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body class="tab-content boxoffice">
<h1>Box Office</h1>
<div class="tableFragment"></div>
</body>
</html>
Fragments do work.
They should be in the main project directory, not the src, just to be clear on why:
The only thing that goes in src is source code that is being cross compiled. HTML shouldn't be in the src folder, we don't cross compile it.
One thing I did notice... IF you have an older SDK, there was a bug fixed in v0.2.4 IU believe where the space between .tableFragment and { mattered. You can try adding a space there else as a next step to debug, take a look at the network tab in chrome or your browser of choice and watch what is loading. Does it try to load the HTML at all?

Rails-like templates in playframework

I'm looking for an alternative to rails templates and yield in playframework, version 2.0.
Is there something similar to that? I couldn't find it by browsing the docs.
I don't know rails but it looks to me like what is explained here for playframework:
http://www.playframework.org/documentation/2.0.1/ScalaTemplateUseCases
#(title: String)(content: Html)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>#title</title>
</head>
<body>
<section class="content">#content</section>
</body>
</html>
As mentioned in Somatik's answer Play provides a default template language that is similar to rails' ERB but it is simple enough to replace it with any template engine that you want. You might want to look into Scalate which provides template engines for Mustache and SCAML/Jade (both very similar to HAML).
This discussion on the Play 2.0 Google group points to further documentation on the subject of integrating Scalate into a Play 2.0 application.

CodeIgniter templates

Hello first sorry if its a stupid question, but I amm a beginner, and im a bit lost.
For practice I decided to code a really small social network just for practice.
I worked on small CodeIgniter projects in the past, and the truth is I dont really like loading the header and footer in every controller.
So on YouTube I saw a video about creating basic templating.
But I can't really decide whether it is a good idea.
So how would it look like?
In my view folder I created 3 subfolders
- include
- template
- user
In the templates I have the main_template.php and that looks like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php base_url();?>themes/default/style.css">
<title><?php echo $title; ?></title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
The controllers would contain different variables for the title and other stuff if needed for each view.
My question is: is it a bad idea not create header and footer files, and creating all views with including the html, head, and body tag like this?
I would recommend using a "header" and "footer". Otherwise it's going to get really messy when you'r trying to customize each template. I get passing down a few variables to the views; actually, that will come in really handy when setting the page's title, meta description, JS/CSS includes, etc. However if you keep your header/footer together, you will have to either pass the entire body in a variable or pass in the name of the specific view you want; in which case you would have to load the specific view inside this main view.
Don't know if I get you right. But, I will put some examples how to use the Template library.
It isn't included, you can take It here : http://gist.github.com/1519385.
Put the Template.php file in /application/libraries.
Make a directory on the views, name It "templates" and inside a "main.php".
This "main.php" file, the name describes it well, let's say that It is your Main template.
Example : http://pastie.org/3071074
There you can see the $content variable, It is defined on your controller.
Example : http://pastie.org/3071097
Thats a very basic example, you can extend It more as you need. Hope It helps.

Comments Moderation

I've successfully added a comment box as described at the social plugins page:
I also included the following metatags:
<meta content='XXX' property='fb:app_id'/>
<meta content='YYY' property='fb:admins'/>
<meta content="YYY" property="fb:moderator"/>
Nothing seems to make a difference!
EDIT: yes, the values are ok, I had the older version and everything used to work.
Thanks!
Is it just broken in IE? If so, maybe you forgot to add the fb namespace to your html tag:
<html xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">
