I have committed the first step in transitioning the web site documentation to valid XHTML.
All documents should now validate as XHTML 1.0 Transitional. If any have slipped through the net, please feel free to let me know. Next steps: - Replace inline formatting (font tags - Ugh!) with CSS. - Remove the printer friendly version and handle print layout with CSS. - Tackle the web apps. - Merge XSL style sheets into one. There are a few things you should watch out for when updating the source XML docs to ensure that the HTML pages continue to validate. They all basically fall under the category of "make sure you use valid XHTML", but specifically: - All images must have "alt" tags - valign is not valid for images - ensure that nested lists are valid: the nested <ol> <ul> etc. tag must be contained in a <li> tag. (These are a p.i.t.a to unravel.) - lists not allowed inside paragraphs - <pre> formatted text is not allowed inside paragraphs. If you'd like to validate the HTML documents after making changes, you can do so at http://validator.w3.org/ Opera 7 makes it easier to validate by linking directly to the validator via a hotkey combination ctrl-alt-v Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
