patch to treat files without doctype as html4 file

Currently making the changes to treat existing files without doctype to be treated as html4 doc. Will add a preference space for user to specify if they want the file without doctype to be treated as html4/html5

Hi, Sarika. The default is set to HTML4 in 3.2, but in 3.3 we plan on treating the default as HTML5. So, this is working as designed.

Thanks for the attention to detail!
