Hi,

Truthfully, it doesn't have to be. HTML 4.01 is a perfectly fine, complete specification that is widely-supported. However, I think XHTML is by and large "the future," and it _might_ be a good idea to move in that direction.

In addition, XHTML tends to have greater semantic value for the web, because it
more cleanly separates visual/audial data ("presentation") from the actual
information ("content").

Of course, a pragmatist seldom cares about these ideals; if this conversion would require a large effort, I don't know if it'd be worth it. At the same time, I do think the pages should at least validate properly.

My 2 cents, tax-deductible.

D Programming Language - DeclarationsThanks, I've incorporated many of your fixes. I balked at the replacement of ·, the problem is that although the font winds up the same size as in the old scheme, it takes up much more vertical space. Perhaps this is correctible with the style sheet, but I don't know how.

Philosophy aside, because it *says* it's XHTML: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> Validating against HTML 4: http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A//www.digitalmars.com/d/index.html&doctype=HTML%204.01%20Transitional Which is basically just the /> and the xmlns. -[Unknown] > Ok, but why does it need to be XHTML rather than HTML?

That's what I get for cutting and pasting the line from an example. What should it say to be HTML 4? "Unknown W.
