Re: Differences XHTML - HTML

Scripsit Wouter:

Quite a many. Why do you care?
'Cus we've started work on a cms about a year and a half ago, in
Xhtml (when everybody was saying xhtml was the way of the future)
only to hear ppl tell me now that HTML is the way to go.

Then you haven't read those messages in this group that tell you that there's really no reason to move to HTML _if_ you are already using XHTML and know how to use it properly. A move in either direction is usually waste of time (or worse, since people tend to break various things in the move).

So to convert it back to HTML i'd have to search & replace f.i all
the <br />'s to <br>'s and the same for image tags etc...

Converting existing pages from anything to anything else is seldom useful. Redesigning and rewriting a page is a different issue, but such operations hardly make sense if done just to "clean things up" (which so often means messing things up).
