Hello, We are planning to migrate all templated pages on gnu.org to HTML5 in order to improve accessibility. But before doing this, deprecated tags such as <tt> and <acronym> need to be removed. <tt> is found in the 3 pages listed . I replaced it with <kbd>, <code> or double quotes, but also took this opportunity to do other changes. Here is a summary:
* Rewrite some sentences to avoid long URLs in link text (screen readers spell them letter by letter). * Simplify the "Mailing lists" section. * Fix a few typos. * Make h3 more visible (color to match the screenshots). * Replace h6 with a dl list: h6 and h5 are too similar. * Make the layout of images more flexible (use the GTK build screenshot instead of the Xaw build). * Display the "More..." section as columns under the 2 screenshots. * Give <pre> the "emph-box" class (light grey background). * Update dead links or comment them out if no replacement was found. * http -> https where possible; * Remove http://www.gnu.org from local URL; * Use <kbd> for keyboard entries, <code> for program code, routines, files, etc., <samp> for program output, and double quotes for normal text. * Replace name attributes with id (id can start with a number in HTML5 whereas this wasn't allowed in HTML4). Place id in a block tag rather than an empty <a>. * Wrap some very long lines. This will make the diffs smaller in the long run. * Update to the latest boilerplate and slightly reduce line width. A diff is attached. If you agree with the changes but don't have time to commit them right now, I will gladly do it. Best regards, Thérèse PS. More to come: I also restyled all pages in the whats_new directory to make them more responsive. This is why the attached diff is named "xboard-1.diff".
