Description Unknown 2000-10-24 23:25:30 UTC

the edits you performed on bug_writing_guidelines.html and issues.html
produce invalid HTML resulting in ugly page layout. Even worse, since the HTML
is syntactically incorrect, it can and will appear differently in each browser.

A particularly "pedantic" HTML parser finds these problems:

cd /home/npm/COLLAB.NET/openoffice.org/www/www/bugs/
nsgmls -s -m /usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/etc/psgml//CATALOG
/usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/etc/psgml/html.decl
bug_writing_guidelines.html
nsgmls:bug_writing_guidelines.html:53:18:E: there is no attribute "STYLE"
nsgmls:bug_writing_guidelines.html:80:4:E: document type does not allow element
"OL" here; assuming missing "LI" start-tag
nsgmls:bug_writing_guidelines.html:81:15:E: there is no attribute "STYLE"

-----------------------------------------------------

I have already applied fixes to 
	http://www.openoffice.org/bugs/issues.html
so that it is correct HTML is produced again 
(and it doesn't look all messed up in netscape).

I'm requesting similar fixes be done to bug_writing_guidelines.html
to correct HTML syntax errors. 

Alternately, reverting back to my last edit (rev 1.12) will also fix the HTML
problems introduced in version 1.13. See
http://www.openoffice.org/source/browse/www/www/bugs/bug_writing_guidelines.html
for details.

As I told you in my email, I can't proceed until we have agreed on what kind of
HTML editor I'm supposed to use.

Comment 2 michael.bemmer 2000-11-13 16:30:35 UTC

Used rev 1.12 and modified it using a plain editor. Looks better now. I did not
use a parser to validate that.
