Add css and prettify. Make RecentChanges use table for
formatting, and images to indicate web vs svn commits and to link to diffs.
All of this should be doable w/o touching a single line of code, just
editing the [[templates]] BTW.
html validation


A doctype should be added: do we want XHTML 1.0 or HTML 4.01 Trans as
default?
Need to choose a doctype that corresponds to what [[MarkDown]]
generates. For example, it does generate <hr />
So xhtml seems a good fit and I'm going to add that to the
templates.
One consideration of course is that regular users might embed html
that uses deprecated presentational elements like <center>. At
least firefox seems to handle that mixture ok.

If XHTML: In templates <hr> should become <hr /> etc.
Done --[[Joey]]


Image wikilinks should provide an alt text (maybe '$filname wiki-image'?).
Now it will be the text of the [[WikiLink]], which even allows
setting a custom alt text like this: [[my_alt_text|image.png]]

&'s in (cgi-)url's must be escaped as &amp;.
Fixed --[[Joey]]


[ [inlinepage] ] gets wrapped in <p>...</p> which has a high chance of invalidating the page.
Since markdown does this, the only way I can think to fix it is to
make the inlined page text start with </p> and end with
<p>. Ugly, and of course there could be problems with
markdown enclosing it in other spanning tags in some cases.
I've implemented this hack now. :-/ --[[Joey]]


This page is now valid, although the validator conplains at having to guess the encoding. Should the encoding be forced to utf-8 in the templates?


Test: validate this page
