[edit] Element pages

Are we going to have pages on each element, e.g. HTML:div? --Maian 07:43, 28 October 2005 (PDT)

It's possible. Definitely not a high-priority item right now, tho :) -- dria 10:44, 28 October 2005 (PDT)

The HTML elements are listed here: HTML:Element (still a lot of red links there, so any help is appreciated) --George3 08:37, 14 September 2007 (PDT)

[edit] XHTML

It is my opinion that we really need to encourage people to use XHTML 1.0 on these pages. Seeing as we do not have a XHTML-specific top-level section, this seems like the best place to put more information about it. If we ever want people to make good use of SVG, XForms, XSLT, etc, we need to start getting people used to XML concepts. It just seems like second nature for a browser-for-tommorow's dev center to talk about the markup-of-tomorrow. I know there are some in the Mozilla community that don't like the W3C's direction, but XHTML1 does seem to be catching on, so we should start "getting with the times." It's just my opinion, but it's something that really need to be thought about carefully.

I'm not a dev, but I too am getting disgruntled with W3C. In any case, if you want to add XHTML info, be sure to also provide a link to [1]. Lots of good info on that page, though he's wrong when he says "<script> and <style> elements in XHTML sent as text/html have to be escaped using ridiculously complicated strings." Because 1) they don't always have to be CDATA sections; and 2) "//<![CDATA[>" and "//]]>" work well enough in modern browsers. --Maian 20:04, 28 September 2005 (PDT)
