This is a split off from bpo-2052. issue2052_html5_v2.diff (from bpo-2052) needs to be updated.

@berkerpeksag Do you remember what this was about?
ezio-melotti commented on Nov 21, 2022
IIRC it refers to this piece of code
cpython/Lib/difflib.py
Lines 1610 to 1619 in 2781ec9
The generated documented uses XHTML 1.0 Transitional instead of HTML 5 and the template should therefore be updated (unless doing so break some tool that relies on it).

Does this cover the general outdated HTML syntax as well? At least in my case, PyCharm is complaining about the table output using the old cellspacing, cellpadding and rules attributes.

I saw this issue a bit late. I implemented the modernized difflib HTML output 2 months ago, migrating it to the HTML5 standard and optimizing the style. Can this issue be closed as completed?
