Sorry for being bossy, but you too, Vincent, should validate the content you enter, as the main content writer. On 12/28/06, Sergiu Dumitriu <sergiu.dumitriu(a)gmail.com> wrote:

This is why anybody writing something that will appear in the interface must validate his/her code. This includes panels, skin files, blog entries, and document contents. Definitely. I’m the one who broke lots of HTML rules on xwiki.org. I definitely have to improve my HTML skills! Actually I think we should provide more macros so that users do not have to know HTML at all. For example the table on xwiki.org main page should be replaced by a {columns} macro ({columns}{column}{column}…{columns}). However for example on the validation example sent by Marc we can see that the attachments do not have the alt attribute. This is something that is done in SVN. Marc, if you can all help us on any of this, it would be great!

Do you think you could help us make it valid HTML? Feel free to open jira issues and attach patches to them In the future, it would be cool to have this validation as part of our build somehow. I haven't researched this but that would be something cool to have. Thanks -Vincent ___________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo! Mail réinvente le mail !

May be jtidy could do the job. In this line of idea, you could provide a button somewhere to check the HTML. 2 options - use jtidy (included already in the libs) - use the same site leveraging its REST api (link to http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=${XYZ}) It could be as discrete as a button laying down at the bottom of the page showing the W3C compliance logo if ok, and showing a bug if not. Clicking on it could then link to http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=${thispage}. Actually it could be a cool velocity macro, doesn't it?

Vincent Massol a écrit : Just because width is a style attribute and strict XHTML is for data, use CSS instead to format the page. W3C design the strict variant of XHTML not to contain layout information. The goal is to have a separation between data and layout, like others XML-based languages read : http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/#xhtml1 "the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element" ... "use CSS instead of this attribute" It was written on the error page ;)
