Re: [tei-council] HTML rendering on TEI-C website (was Re: 2.9.0 in Vault)

I don't really see any downside to having pages which are both valid HTML5 and are XML. That's what I tend to do myself. I find it cleaner to be able to specify an XHTML namespace for output in a context where I'm dealing with lots of namespaces (TEI, TEIX, XSL, XInclude) rather than producing HTML without a namespace. That's what we do in the Guidelines pages too. But your call -- as long as it's valid, I guess it doesn't matter. Cheers, Martin On 15-11-07 04:03 PM, Kevin Hawkins wrote:

If I follow the link at the top of that editor's draft to "latest published version", I get a working group note with a giant prominent note in the "status of the document" section saying:

"Beware. This specification is no longer in active maintenance and the HTML Working Group does not intend to maintain it further."

I haven't been keeping up with things in the HTML5 world, but I wonder if polyglot markup is a dead end? I mean, so is the TEI-C website, but I think I'm more inclined to stick with something that is at least actively maintained. More to the point, I can't imagine us processing the HTML output of the TEI-C website with an XML tool, or trying to embed something in another namespace that isn't part of HTML5. What do you think?

HI Kevin,

I think the ideal is not plain HTML5 but polyglot markup, as defined here:

http://dev.w3.org/html5/html-polyglot/html-polyglot.html

That allows explicit namespaces and processing by XML tools, while still being HTML5-compatible.

Cheers, Martin

I've updated the JSP code that drives the formation of the top of the HTML documents to follow HTML5 practices. Unfortunately, there are still some self-closing tags being created in the HTML output which trip up the W3C HTML5 validation, and I can't determine where these are coming from. Still, I think this situation is now improved.

Hi Kevin,

I think replacing the doctype with the HTML5 one, and fixing any of the HTML inconsistencies (I think they're trivial) would really help.

Yeah, when that XSLT was developed, it may have produced XHTML output, but we've tweaked it since then, such as by adding the Twitter chicklet in the footer.

Till we get a new TEI website, would it help if I removed the DOCTYPE and html@xmlns? I would check a few pages to make sure that this introduce any significant change in how browsers render pages.

That page on the site:

http://www.tei-c.org/Guidelines/P5/

is a horrible mess; it claims to be XHTML transitional but because of the likes of Twitter stuff embedded in it, it has HTML5 content. I don't see how it could ever validate without being rewritten as HTML5 (as the Guidelines pages have been).

I think the reason nobody has gone near this stuff recently is that we've been hoping for the replacement for OpenCMS to come along; if that's not in prospect during the next year or so, we should probably make an effort to refactor the XSLT on the website.

Cheers, Martin
