Description nbjayme 2003-11-20 02:11:55 UTC 
The HTML Generator must meet some basic criteria for XML.

1) Mark-ups must be in lowercases
    in example.

    <TABLE>   --->      <table>

2)  Property values must be enclosed by double quotes.

    in example.


    <table border=0>   ----->   <table border="0">

3)  Single markup to non-empty XML equivalent.
    in example

    <br>     ------>    <br />

this would at least help in porting our web pages to XML in the future.

I have tried OpenOffice 1.1.3 under Win9x and I opened the HTML Editor and added
a table.

The issue is still there as can be seen below:


<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
	<META HTTP-EQUIV="CONTENT-TYPE" CONTENT="text/html; charset=us-ascii">
	<TITLE></TITLE>
	<META NAME="GENERATOR" CONTENT="OpenOffice.org 1.1.3  (Win32)">

Confirmed. Using 1.9.77, if you create a table in Writer, and then save the file
in HTML. The file will not be valid HTML 4.0 Transitional, as it states the
doctype is in the file you just saved. You can verify it is not valid by passing
it through the W3C's Validator at http://validator.w3.org/ .

The file does show as expected in IE and Mozilla 1.7.3.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
