GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 300049
Generated tags aren't XHTML 1.0 Strict compliant
Last modified: 2005-04-12 03:37:39 UTC
Version details: 1.3.2 LiveJournal and Wordpress claim XHTML 1.0 Transitional compliance, but Blogger claims XHTML 1.0 Strict. In those cases, the lack of an </li> tag being generated immediately encourages broken tags. However, since Blogger is supported and wants XHTML 1.0 Strict, bold and italics should be handled as "strong" and "em". I haven't fixed underline or strike, because that would require embedding a longer string using <span style=...>, and I don't know what that would do to a user's mind.

Thanks, I've committed this to CVS. Feel free to expriment with XHTML tags for other formatting functions--hopefully there will soon be a WYSIWYG editor component for people who truly don't care about the markup, allowing us to be as strict as we like about standards compliance.
