Hello yet again!

For the benefit of myself and my students I have started to put together
a cheat sheet of (X)HTML elements. Although only HTML 4.01 strict, XHTML
1.0 strict and XHMTL 1.1 Mobile are recommended to my students for use
today, I include all of HTML 3.2, 4.01/X1.0 transitional/frameset, some
XHTML 2.0 and all of (X)(HTML 5 as well as some proprietary elements as
reference, to provide a historical perspective and some preparation for
the future.

Unlike other cheat sheets the emphasis is not on syntax, but on proper
usage. Any feedback on my work is greatly appreciated.

The cheat sheet is available (during development) at:
http://keryx.se/wasp/html_elements_beta.pdf
http://keryx.se/wasp/html_elements_beta.ods (Open Office Calc)

It is primarily intended for print, but when it reaches 1.0 status, I
will probably make an HTML version as well.

A few notes:
- I have grouped the elements according to how I teach. It may not 
reflect the way you think of them, and it does not reflect any spec. 
Known issue - I won't change it.
- All advice is appreciated, but if it can't be boiled down into 
something short I can't use it. Please feel free to suggest a wording.
- If you would like to give me feedback by changing the OO-document and 
mailing it to me, please use the versioning so I can track your 
suggestions and criticism.


Many thanks.

Lars Gunther


P.S. I'll include anyone who provides feedback in the document. It 
currently says:


The recommendations in the table above represents the personal opinion 
of Lars Gunther, although valuable suggestions have been provided by 
April Siegfried, Christian Montoya, Alexey Feldgendler and Simon 
Pieters. This list is intended to be used as a reference while coding 
(or seeing other's code) and as notes for learning (X)HTML. Strict 
doctypes that are supported by the browsers of today is recommended for 
normal web pages. XHTML 1.1 Mobile is recommended for pages primarily 
intended for cell phones and similar devices (WAP 2.0). Proprietary 
elements are included for reference if stumbled upon. A few XHTML 2.0 
and most (X)HTML 5 elements are included as examples of where (X)HTML 
might be heading in the future.

Re: [WSG] (X)HTML best practice cheat sheet

Good! Maybe it's interesting to note here that when working in real
projects, it doesn't matter if the future is (X)HTML 5 or XHTML 2: the
thing is that today (for example) XHTML 1.0 or HTML 4.2 works properly
everyehere. I was unquiet not knowing what to read, and heard this
these days while asking which is the future. I found it useful and
reassuring, and it's not ignorating in what people are working now.

Well, hope this helps a bit.
Regards;

Eugenio.
