XHTML - What's the point? from Henri Sivonen
http://hsivonen.iki.fi/xhtml-the-point/
Even if you are working on an existing document
you may consider that it is worth whatever additional
work would be required to upgrade to using the HTML
4.01 strict doctype. The benefits of using web stand-
ards (W3C recommendations and language specifica-
tions regarding web page authoring) are numerous,
important, often underestimated and often misunder-
stood.
Using Web Standards in Your Web Pages
(http://www.mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/
upgrade_2.html#benefitsusingstandards) is an excel-
lent introduction to this issue which deserves careful
study.
A3.5 KompoZer capability
KompoZer can create pages using any of these
doctypes. Pages created from Templates are always
generated using HTML 4.01 Transitional doctype.
Note It may be possible to edit a template exter-
nal to KompoZer and change the doctype so that
pages created from it use the corresponding
Doctype. I have not tested this.
HTML pages created will offer, on saving, the ‘html’
extension. XHTML pages will also offer ‘xhtml’ exten-
sion. Regarding XHTML pages, the choice is important
as an xhtml file extension will lead browsers to serve
such document as content type
application/xhtml+xml. If you save your XHTML docu-
ment with the "html" file extension, then your XHTML
document will be served as text/html.
KompoZer can open and edit pages with any of
these doctypes. The doctype is not editable but Kom-
poZer will not change any doctype encountered.
When creating and editing documents, KompoZer
will generate code which is appropriate to the doctype
declared using only appropriate elements and at-
tributes. This means that some features may be disa-
bled or be inaccessible depending on the type of
document encountered. Typically this may necessitate
the use of a CSS style to obtain some effect which is not
accessible using an HTML attribute.
KompoZer cannot convert from one doctype to an-
other so, if the doctype is not consistent with the code
on the page the result will be unreliable. It is because
KompoZer cannot convert doctypes that I suggest that
you continue with the existing doctype when working
on pre-existing documents . If you do wish to convert a
page it is possible to take content from one document
to another with a different doctype by cutting and
pasting in normal view. However, when you paste, you
must use the ‘Paste without formatting’ option and
reapply all the formats needed. Whether or not you
take this option will depend on circumstances.
A3.6 Browser responses
While browsers will render pages irrespective of the
doctype, detailed differences in response occur.
Doctype switching by David Hammond has the
results of some excellent research and documenting
the responses of all the main current browsers.
Information for older browsers was provided by
Henri Sivonen.
CSS Enhancements in Internet Explorer 6 gives
fuller details for this browser.
