[Doxygen-develop] strategies for XHTML support

[Francesco M. <f18...@ya...>]

Hi,
   before making a kilometric patch I'd like to discuss the changes I 
think are necessary for XHTML support:

1) split BaseOutputDocInterface::writeListItem into two functions: 
startItemListItem, endItemListItem, which allow to put also the 
necessary </li> correctly everywhere required.

2) split BaseOutputDocInterface::writeDescItem into two functions: 
startDescForItem, endDescForItem, which allow to put also the necessary 
</dd> correctly everywhere required.

3) remove deprecated HTML4 attributes (compact, nowrap, some align, etc) 
  from htmlgen.cpp and htmldocvisitor.cpp; turn empty tags from e.g. 
<br> to <br/>; rename 'name' attribute to 'id' attribute

4) change MemberDef::setAnchor to generate an anchor ID which always 
starts with a non-numeric character (as required by 'id' attribute); 
I've done this just prefixing the MD5 with 'a'

5) most tedious one: couple _every_ startParagraph/newParagraph call to 
a endParagraph one

I attach the _preview_ version of a patch doing these 5 things to show 
you better what I mean...

Please tell me if you think I'm doing something wrong: I hate do useless 
work :)
