Bootstrap 5 does not support IE11, but Wt does. So how does it work on IE11?

Dear Wt team,

I read the following statement in the documentation of WBootstrap5Theme class

Although this theme styles individual widgets correctly, for your web application's layout you are recommended to use WTemplate in conjunction with Bootstrap's CSS classes. For this we refer to Bootstrap's documentation at https://getbootstrap.com.

If Bootstrap 5 does not support IE11, then using its layout system won't break Wt apps on IE11?

Thanks and kind regards,

~Plug

Bootstrap 5 relies on some browser functionality that is simply not present in IE11. As such, using it will result in some items not correctly displaying. One such example would be collapsing panels.
Their documentation does note that it is not compatible with IE11, and an older version should be used (like Bootstrap 3).
