PROPOSED GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR NEW XHTML OUTPUT
Please reply, comment make suggestions. I have never written something
this nature but willing to get the ball rolling.
1. The XHTML output will comply with the W3C XHTML 1.1 recommendation,
as well as current W3C Accessibility Guidelines.
2. Included in the output will be a default CSS file with a basic
layout for screen, print and handheld devices. The CSS file should be
fully functional in modern browsers: Opera 7+, Mozilla 1.0 and IE 6.
3. Outputted XHTML code will aim to be as simple as possible to
facilitate CSS layout and be completely table-less expect for tabular
data.
4. XHTML outputted will have four main DIVs for layout purposes:
header, navbar (for basic navigation on all pages as well as
next/previous), content and footer.
5. The only DIV to be created inside the main content will be for
admonitions, sidebar and highlights.
6. All graphics that will be used for navigation purposes or
admonitions will be handled by the stylesheet. This will ensure
maximum functionality accross various mediums and facilitate meeting
accessibility standards.
Bob, I hope this is what you had in mind. Again, everybody's output is welcomed.
Rene
