Hi,
I noticed when generating html output that some tokens generated by
the xsl sheet already have a defined element in html 4.0 and xhtml 1.0.
e.g. <em> for <div clas="emphasis">
http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-html40-19980424/struct/text.html#h-9.2.1
lists the elements
EM, STRONG, DFN, CODE, SAMP, KBD, VAR, CITE, ABBR, and ACRONYM
and
http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-html40-19980424/struct/text.html#h-9.2.2
BLOCKQUOTE and Q
The W3C recommends those for using textual representation.
To users i think it does not make much difference. (The Browser's I
have tested do support those tags, if they support css). But I may
have a difference to search engine's and text processor's as those
<q> is more conqurete than <div class="quote">. Or <em> for
<div class="emphasis">.
So why was the <div class="element"> chosen over <element> ?
P.S.: Is there a script in the xsl distribution that displays all
used css elements in the outputted html document ?
Ciao
