Hi guys.
I’m just wondering about code generated by plugins.
One of the reasons why I chose to learn modx, is that is lets me choose my doctype. I’m not forced to use XHTML.
However, as soon as I start using plugins, my choice goes out the window.
I’ve been working with the tutorial in the docs on creating a blog in revo. The process requires quiet a handful of plugins. By the time I’ve created a blog, my pages won’t validate.
I guess this is simply a reality of working with plugins for any CMS.
But I’m just wondering a couple of things...
How to plugin developers decide which styles of tag to generate?
Is there any way out of this dilemma?
I guess plugin authors could include a kind of switch in their plugins, so users could decide which tag style they want. I’m sure this would be a lot more work that plugin authors might not neccessarily want to take on.
Perhaps one possible solution might be a common set of functions that all plugin authors could use?
I’m just thinking out loud here. But I’d really be interested to know if this is a problem for other people. I can get obsessive about producing fully valid work. Is this an issue for anyone else?
