You should be aware that any page that has a form in it is not likely to
render as correct XHTML, because that will probably come from core
Django, which uses HTML5 these days (it tends to render with XHTML
'style', because of history, but it is no longer attempting to generate
code that validates under XHTML rules).
You need to be clear which XHTML you are aiming at. Are you going for
XHTML 1.0 Transitional/Strict? If so, that is a major disadvantage,
since it doesn't include things like <input type=email> etc., or
anything modern really. XHTML 1.0 is dead. The only thing that XHTML
used to give you that HTML didn't was being able to include SVG inline.
But you can do that in HTML5 now.
If you are going for XHTML5, that seems fairly pointless - HTML5
explicitly allows both XHTML and HTML style tags (e.g. <br> and <br/>),
while XHTML5 just disallows the <br> style. So using XHTML is only
likely to give you more headaches (e.g. case sensitive CSS selector
matching and other subtleties https://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/HTML_vs._XHTML )
In other words, XHTML 1.0 is dead and XHTML5 is pointless. If you have a
policy that you need to meet, you can tell them that XHTML (1.0) has
been superseded by HTML5.

I would change the doctype in my base.html template and then go
through and fix anything that doesn't meet the xhtml spec. I'm not
sure how much there will be to fix so that may or may not be a very
tedious process.
Good luck!

Hi all,
is there an easy way to "convert" Mezzanine to use the XHTML
standard rather than HTML 5?
Thanks,
Nicola
