RE: [WSG] XHTML Strict
From: Brian Cummiskey or the better method, h1 id=section1This is a header/a Surely that can't be right?

RE: [WSG] duplicate id
From: shawn cassick
how can i get around the span duplicate id defined,
as i use css to define a border around the title text,
i have thought of using a div tag instead of a span
Your question is somewhat ambiguous, but if you need to style
an element repeatedly on a page you should use a class, not
an id.
CSS
.prettything {styles;}
Markup
span class=prettythingPretty stuff/span
With a class defined using just the dot nomenclature you
could use it on any element you need to.
div class=prettythingPretty div/div
p class=prettythingPretty paragraph/p
and so on.

RE: [WSG] convert to XHTML
From: Kenny Graham Just a plain text file? If so, then it can't be done, as it won't have any way to infer the semantic meaning of bits of plain text. Along those lines the best you could probably do is use a text editor with search and replace abilities, or a grep type utility. Make each intended paragraph have two or some other known number of carraige returns follow it. Then make your initial opening p at the start. Replace all instances of crcr with /pcrp Then remove the superfluous p at the end of the file. You'd have to then instert a standard header and footer for the Doctype declaration, opening and closing html markup and so on. That'd get some of the work done, but as already pointed out how can headings, and non paragraphs be distinguished programatically in a plain text file? HTML Transit that you mentioned is a fairly big tool that is more aimed at things like converting MS Word docs to HTML. You still need structure in your Word doc for it to use as the framework of the HTML markup. It was a long time ago that I used it last though, so it may work differently these days. -- Peter Williams ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
