There's so much happening with everyone using D, I've lost track of it. Hence, the news (www.digitalmars.com/d/dnews.html) and links (www.digitalmars.com/d/dlinks.html) have fallen into disrepair, and are formatted ugly anyway. Is anyone willing to take these on as an (unpaid) editor? The idea with dnews is to digest the stuff on the n.g. to highlight the most interesting new developments, a digest of what's happening. dlinks is meant as a collection of links to everyone who's put up a web page for their D project. dlinks could certainly be better organized, with better blurbs about each link, and it's certainly missing a lot of links. Getting both of these in shape would be a big boost to the D community effort. It helps give visibility to those who are working on D projects, and drives traffic to their sites. I do have one request - write them in vanilla html using an ordinary text editor, not one of those wretched, bloated wysiwyg html editors.

Ok, let's do it!

It generates clean HTML. :) At least it could be used together with VIM. Edit textual and table portions in WYSIWYG and assemble final doc in VIM using: Ctrl+L - it will copy current selection as HTML source in clipboard. ( http://blocknote.net/shortcuts.htm ) Tables (if they needed) are way better to create in BlockNote as it has http://blocknote.net/info/rulersexplained.htm . I am doing my own site in BlockNote. Explantion of how is on the front page (Page on the server http://terrainformatica.com/news/0001.htm wrapped dynamicly into http://www.terrainformatica.com/ on request, PHP) Let me know if this is interesting for Project D, I'll provide details, source code, etc. Andrew Fedoniouk. http://terrainformatica.com

Indeed. I suggest verifying all code here: http://validator.w3.org/ . That should ensure multi-platform adherence to standards.

One way to clean up the current markup is to use the "Tidy" tool. http://tidy.sourceforge.net/ I used this tidy.cfg: > tidy-mark: no > keep-time: yes > indent: yes > > force-output: yes > output-xhtml: yes > clean: yes > > output-encoding: utf8 > output-bom: no > newline: CRLF And then added this to <head>: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> And that made most of the HTML files, that came with D, validate ? --anders

I suggest verifying all code here: http://validator.w3.org/ . That should ensure multi-platform adherence to standards. I don't know why I didn't do it before, but I tried validating this site. There are a couple of minor errors, like not specifying the character set. There may be other errors, but code validators are sort of like compilers. Once they choke on the first bug, they don't give you much help after that.
