Link to issue
Closes #4847
Continuation of PR #4848 by @mishrakushal
Description of change
Add <!doctype html> at top of HTML template for compliance with modern web standards.
Demo
n/a
Testing strategy
Call fig.to_html() and verify that the generated HTML file has <!doctype html> at the very top.
Additional information (optional)
Updated unit tests accordingly.
Note: Adding <!doctype html> changed the chart rendering behaviour and made charts render at 450px high rather than filling the browser window. To keep the existing behaviour, this PR adds a small HTML snippet to the template:
<style>html, body {{height: 100%;}}</style>
