The established rules for HTML clearly state that there are optional
opening/closing tags and empty elements which must not have a closing

and that all elements must be closed.
The fallacy is to equate elements and tags.
Wherein my four lines do you read such fallacy?
[Snipped theatrics] In the context of the question by the OP,
Screw that. This is Usenet, this is a thread. Deal with it. The OP is a
hit-and-run one-line questioner from some dreadful web porthole. There
may be "no stupid questions", but there are certainly those that don't
go out of their way to invite a worthwhile answer. A proper Buddhist
response to such questions like "What is the essence of the Buddha's
teachings" is to hit the student firmly with a stick. We should have
more of that on Usenet.
Yep, anonimity is great isn't it? Jeez!
I prefer to take questions in good faith until proven otherwise. Some
people don't have enough information to ask a question properly. I think
that it was a fair question. It was answered and you chose to correct
the answer with what I believe to be misleading information and not to
the point. I respond in order to correct. You don't like it. You deal
with it.

What's easier to do? One hard thing, or two simple things?
XML is perhaps more verbose than SGML, but it's _simpler_. You can
explain and understand the lexical rules and these rules are the same
for all XML documents, not DTD dependent.

Visit <http://www.w3.org/>. Everything you wanted to know about HTML

Nope.
The W3C is reluctant to give information that makes their members look
bad and information that suggests you shouldn't adopt the latest spec
right now. And that kind of information is usually of practical
importance and, hence, something you'd probably want to know.

I follow the following steps to converting from HTML to XHTML
http://webpageworkshop.co.uk/main/xhtml_converting
My parser is http://htmlparser.sourceforge.net/
Xhtml version is 1.0 from http://nds.nokia.com/uaprof/N6600r100.xml
but nokia mobile browser cannot identify the converted file(XHTML1.0).
Is there something wrong with my procedure.

Hello,
I have read about the problems that IE has when using a doctype of HTML
4.01 Transitional. I was advised to use Strict wherever possible.
My question is, does the same apply to XHTML 1.0 Transitional? I develop
sites using ASP.NET, which emits valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional, but not
XHTML 1.0 Strict (for example, it includes a hidden form field with the
name of _VIEWSTATE, which isn't valid in Strict, but is in
Transitional).

All,
I have been working on a system to support the 'tidy' program to help
convert html to xhtml. The system is a little complex for me to put
together as it involves apache/php/linux and a windows daemon doing the
conversion, help and email systems.
I would be very grateful of anyone who would be prepared to give it a
quick try and see if it works for them.
