Marco PS: That wikipedia.de has invalid HTML in contrast to all wikis, which are all valid HTML (except the CSS), is easy to explain: wikipedia.de is not run with mediawiki under the hood, and mediawiki employs Tidy to output correct HTML. Which is bad, because it doesn't force template / infobox devs to write proper code which can be re-used in other wikis! -- VMSoft GbR Nabburger Str. 15 81737 München Geschäftsführer: Marco Schuster, Volker Hemmert http://vmsoft-gbr.de _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
