Hi
Today I polluted the internals list with an off topic remark about Front
End code quality. I quote myself:
[Off topic rant]
I am constantly amazed that some PHP-wizards, whose knowledge of
back-end development clearly shows in how many ways I must still be
considered an newbie, are very unaware about what has been going in on
the front end this century, with regards to accessibility, standards,
unobtrusive scripting, semantic (X)HTML, CSS-based design, etc.
[/rant]
Now, things might improve if the manual nudged people in the right
direction. I am not thinking about teaching HTML or CSS, but doing the
small right things in all examples.
E.g. This page: http://docs.php.net/manual/en/introduction.php
The HTML in "An introductory example" should have a DOCTYPE. And always
a strict version of either HTML 4.01 or XHTML.
I will in a separate mail submit text that may improve this page:
