[extend-a-story-devel] Working Towards XHTML 1.0 Strict Compliance

[Jeff W. (S. Toby) <jjw...@ke...>]

I've taken a bit of time to investigate what it will take to make
Extend-A-Story compliant with XHTML 1.0 Strict. I've started with the
documentation files, since those are static and should allow us to convert
over to the new standard without too much difficulty. Once we settle upon
a good way to convert to the new standard in general, we can move on to
converting the Extend-A-Story code.

I've found a validator that I've been using to ensure the HTML is valid
for the new standard. Here is a URL:

http://validator.w3.org/

The first thing I've noticed about the HTML you've given me is that you
are still using attributes that are not part of the XHTML 1.0 Strict
standard. I have started over with the begin.html document from scratch,
and have been testing it against the validator. You can look at my version
here:

I had to add a <style> section in order to get the same layout as the
previous version. Take a look and let me know what you think. Again, my
goal here is to allow us both to have our own formatting of the HTML by
just adjusting an external style sheet. The <style> section I am using now
will eventually be moved to a seperate file. Let me know if you think we
need to add any additional classes or anything to give you the flexibility
to style the document to your needs.
