Re: [Htmlvalidator-help] validator, tag case

[Marc G. <mg...@sk...>]

Hi Stef,

HTML allows uppercase tags. Not XHTML. It could be that tidy has a bug 
about it
or that the DTD is not well defined in your case. What means that the 
XHTML/HTML
detection works differently for both program.

I need a testcase to log such a bug in Tidy and to see if it is really a 
bug.

Hope it helps,

Marc
