Package: docbook-xsl Version: 1.78.1+dfsg-1 Severity: normal Hello,
When generating the aptitude guide in HTML, and trying to validate with "validate": $ dpkg -S /usr/bin/validate wdg-html-validator: /usr/bin/validate $ dpkg -l wdg-html-validator | grep ii ii wdg-html-validator 1.6.2-8 all WDG HTML Validator $ dpkg -l aptitude-doc-en | grep ii ii aptitude-doc-en 0.7.1-1 all English manual for aptitude, a terminal-based package manager $ validate /usr/share/doc/aptitude/html/en/*.html The source document in question: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/aptitude/aptitude.git/tree/doc/en/aptitude.xml The results with HTML 4.01 Strict were: =================== *** Errors validating /usr/share/doc/aptitude/html/en/ch01s02.html: *** Error at line 19, character 30: document type does not allow element "DIV" here; missing one of "APPLET", "OBJECT", "MAP", "IFRAME", "BUTTON" start-tag Error at line 25, character 30: document type does not allow element "DIV" here; missing one of "APPLET", "OBJECT", "MAP", "IFRAME", "BUTTON" start-tag Error at line 35, character 30: document type does not allow element "DIV" here; missing one of "APPLET", "OBJECT", "MAP", "IFRAME", "BUTTON" start-tag .... =================== Then I converted to XHTML 1.0, to use something from this decade/century (HTML 4.01 is from 1999), and to see if the issues were addressed with the translation mechanism for this new standard. With this there are similar errors, but slightly rephrased: =================== *** Errors validating doc/en/output-html/ch01s02.html: *** Error at line 19, character 30: document type does not allow element "div" here; missing one of "object", "applet", "map", "iframe", "button", "ins", "del" start-tag Error at line 25, character 30: document type does not allow element "div" here; missing one of "object", "applet", "map", "iframe", "button", "ins", "del" start-tag Error at line 35, character 30: document type does not allow element "div" here; missing one of "object", "applet", "map", "iframe", "button", "ins", "del" start-tag .... =================== I was checking them and they seem to be related with commands/actions, "<varlistentry><term><synopsis>" and the like. Looks like valid docbook, so I assume that the translation to HTML is the one at fault there. Cheers. -- Manuel A.
