Create some nice stylesheets. 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]] and/or editing [[style.css]] 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. --[[Joey]]

  • 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]] --[[Joey]]

  • &'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. Test: validate this page
