TinyMCE handles HTML srict document lika XHTML document (inserts trailing slash)

i don’t want to open a new thread, but let me say some words to your phrase:

Like it or not, the world is headed towards XHTML.

I think many webdesigners go back to HTML, because they have recognized, that there are no real advantages using it. And i read more and more aticles from webdevelopers which are using now HTML instead of XHTML. And i do so. I wrote almost sites in XHTML, because i thought it was cleaner, more future oriented, more hip, modern, etc. But i read some good aticles, that have convinced me using HTML. And all this because of Internet Explorer which does not support "application/xhtml+xml"...

And i mean that XHTML is no longer in development, meaning there won’t be a version of XHTML 2.0.

So here is the article: http://www.hixie.ch/advocacy/xhtml

Take some time and read it. It is very good and undersandable.

So long.

I just can appeal to the development crew of Modx, to get rid of using an wysiwyg editor for inserting content in the next releases. I know its hard, but it is worth it

0.9.7 will introduce packaging, which will allow you to add in and remove resources such as RTEs easily and quickly.

There are tons of advantages. XSLT isn’t usable in regular HTML, nor is SVG, MathML or other extensions. XHTML is also much more 508 accessible, and easier for mobile devices to parse. It encourages better standardization, better coding practices, and is compliant cross-browser.

Being a 10-yr veteran in the web development industry, I can say with confidence that any self-respecting webdeveloper codes in XHTML. If they don’t, they’re lazy or uninformed.

And anyone who makes web development decisions based upon IE should not be doing web development. Best practices are to start with the standards and then make the exceptions - code for a compliant browser, then adjust for IE. This has been standard practice for years.

I feel that that’s putting things a bit too harshly. In an ideal world, both of those statements might be true. But in the Microsoft-dominated computer world we all have to live and work in, all too often unpleasant compromises have to be made. And clients and bosses have to be propitiated. Besides, HTML can be coded just as cleanly as XHTML. One can legislate neither morality nor good coding practices

and a lot of related links at the foot of that article.

Thanks sottwell for the link of this good article! It should be "eye opening" for everyone who reads it carefully!

@splittingred:

I thought/felt many years like you do. But i just can recommend to read the articles about the myths of XHTML, which based not on any opinions of the publishers, instead it just telling truths and facts.

But it seems like a discussion about cats and dogs or PC and Macs, hehe
