I think only XHTML. But what is fpdoc's xml files? Pure XML, XHTML or some custom/hybrid format? The layout of fpdoc's files seem XML, but the documentation content seems some hybrid HTML - hence the confusion with what is allowed! Anybody know the rules of strict XML files and Unicode? Can I use Unicode characters as data in XML nodes? I would imagine I may because most well-formed XML files specify UTF-8 as the encoding type. Also something I think has been resolved in recent versions, but in older 'makeskel' versions, it did not include the encoding in the generated .xml file. So what are we supposed to treat such files encoding as? Default to W3C standards and use assume UTF-8? LCL and fpGUI's fpdoc documentation (mostly) has no encoding specified in the .xml files. FPC's documentation specifies ISO8859-1 as the encoding type, though I found one file (dateutils.xml) it FPC docs that hasn't got an encoding (but my doc update is out of date).
