Invalid HTML-Tags
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi!
I discovered that especially in the french translations HTML-Tags in
the original version have been replaced, using the <u>-Tag.
Please do not use that any longer!
Two reasons
- - not valid
- - things not to be used (<i>) should be replaced by something, that
tells more about the content, but not by invalid old html.
Quotations:
You may either use the quote div - example aof usage ist in devel/join
<blockquote><p> </p></blockquote> should be what it says: a quotation
<q> </q> is a quotation inside text, language (lang=en-us) may be used
<cite> </cite> is for the quotation source (or person cited
<kbd> </kbd> is for keyborad _input_
<samp> </samp> is for program _output_
<var> </var> is for variables (names or to be replaced by the user)
<code> </code> for computer code - I think, that can be taken for
program names, too? Suggestion?
<pre>
</pre> is preformatted text - lines should not be to long!!
Do not use <i> and <b> please, but <strong> and <em> instead
Another thing: If the translators note invalid usage of HTML in the
original source, it would be fine to contact others about a general
changes. How it is now, it is not possible to make changes for all
languages without looking very carefully for different tag usage. On
the other hand the user should be presented translations and not very
different looking pages, in my opinion.
We are down to about 1600 html files now that would not validate as
HTML strict
Before I forget: If you look into the HTML 4.01 Specification for
valid tags, please note the tables at the end of the specs and do not
use tags or attributes marked there with "D" (depricated), "L" (loose
DTD), "F" (frameset). In the specation text itself it is often not
stated out, if the tags or attibutes are still valid in strict DTD.
I am currently not adding missing end tags, so thode working on the
page content may have a look, if all <li> and <p> are cosed. Having
those tags that include blocks in seperate line would be nice for
later changes.
greetings
Jutta
