RE: [WSG] xHTML style guide/ coding guidelines

Rob,

Let's rework your example:

divpabc/p/div

You really ought forget about nesting tables, in fact you might want to read
up on using containers - divs - to create elements in the markup and CSS to
control their display.

Not what you want to hear, I know but take a long, determined look at
tableless design and you'll never look back. Trust me on this.

Cheers,

. What I mean is, how code should be specifically formatted,
  indents, wraps, placement of comments, treatment of long lines,
  suggestion for nesting tables etc.

Example:
tabletr
tdabc/td
/tr
/table

is far LESS readable than:

!-- START main table --
table
  tr
td
  abc
/td
  /tr
/table
!-- END main table --

Thanks

PS- I sure get a lot out of this list serve

I think what you're asking about is a best practices guide, and most
development departments have them.  One example is here:
