Graham Leggett commented on DOXIA-575:
--------------------------------------
> * Why have specialized items replaced with inline? What is the purpose?
More on this - as I recall, doxia has very limited coverage of html4 - the vast
majority of html4 tags are unsupported.
Faced with a choice of spending soul destroying days trying to bend an html5
website into something that not only has to fit into html4, but also has to fit
into doxia's subset of html4, we decided to just fix doxia instead. Taking the
spec for html5.2, I added every single supported tag.
The idea is someone writing docuemntation can just get on with writing the
documentation, and not have to sit wondering why the formatting is all broken.
The "styles" that were there previously are now proper tags in html5, and these
have been expanded into the "inline" elements.
