Re: Canadian Company Claims RDF Patent

What is wrong with the at > line 129? Ah, that's another fairly common mistake found in HTML pages: You can only change the type of font inside ONE paragraph. Tags such as , , , , etc cannot extend beyond the frontier of a paragraph. You should replace: some text more text by: some text more text which is now valid HTML, but not XHTML. If you want valid XHTML, use: some text more text In the case of partners/index.en.html, the same mistake appears in several places. A quick way of fixing it is: s//<\/small>/ but only in lines 129-249. Cheers, Jaime

No idea what that is. It is an invention of the author, which doesn't exist in HTML; It seems that he meant to tag program names in some way, and he must have thought that since is silently ignored by his browser, it was harmless. You can replace by (or ) which are valid HTML tags and serve the same purpose. > ports/powerpc/inst/install.en.html includes lines like the following: > > Apple > > > A little strange, but anything wrong with an empty row?
