Thanks, hopefully it will work now ;)
Templates have been updated as explained in previous messages, and should
produce the same output.
We could now check what still needs to be done, here are some
items:
1. A missing </p> end tag has not yet been fixed in wml::debian::footer
in order not to change output.
2. `Minimized' attributes (i.e. attribute without values, e.g. <hr noshade>)
are invalid with XHTML. We could either write noshade="noshade" in all
cases (could cause problems with old browsers), or keep noshade in HTML
and noshade="noshade" in XHTML.
3. Fix wml::debian::recent_list subroutine get_recent_list: add missing
optional end tags.
We could either fix the problems when they are discovered, or wait for massive
changes.
In order to help validate output, XHTML doctype is printed if the DOCTYPE
variable is set to "xhtml", e.g. by putting the following line in any .wmlrc
file:
-W2,--expansion=2 -D DOCTYPE=xhtml
THIS IS ONLY INTENDED TO TEST MIGRATION TO XHTML, PLEASE DO NOT COMMIT
SUCH LINES NOW.
The -W2,--expansion=2 flag is more permissive than -W2,--expansion=0, it allows
compiling page even if it is not well formed, and is more suitable to find
XHTML errors. We could switch to -W2,--expansion=0 when all known errors have
been fixed.
