I think I am going to understand concept of xsl parametrization and why it
would not require to create a new set of stylesheets.
For creating valid XHTML 1.0 Strict/XHTML 1.1 we will have to
- change the doctype
- remove all presentation elements such as
+ font
+ basefont
- remove all presentation attributes such as
+ <body bgcolor="...
+ <body text="...
+ link, vlink, alink
+ width, height e.g in tables, images
+ anchors need to be <a id="..." instead of <a name="
+ img must have an alt attribute, even if it is empty (omitting is not
allowed)
+ one thing that was already mentioned, the proper nesting of elements:
there are no div elemtents allowed inside p elements (validator.w3.org says:
"Error: element "div" not allowed here; possible cause is an inline element
containing a block-level element"),
so we have to replace nearly all p elements by div elements, one exception
would be the simpara-->p transformation, which seems to be ok.
this are the first things that have come into mind, so this list has to be
filled.
enjoy your sunday.
