(triaging old savannah tickets)

Hello,

Regarding this:

> [...] Some of them are due to XHTML/HTML rule mixing.


I agree this is a good idea.

Sadly, we currently do not have the man-power to implement it (and evidently, didn't have it in the last 4 years since this ticket was opened).

I'm adding this idea to savannah's "todo/wishlist" page (#25):
  https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/SavannahHackingIdeas/

On the bright-side, we've just made hacking on savannah's PHP code much easier.
If you (or others) wish to help, please see:
  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-hackers-public/2017-02/msg00085.html

As such, I'm closing this ticket for now.

regards,
 - assaf

Most browsers tackle these quirks, but fixing these bugs would help compatibility! Some of them are really trivial. Some of them are due to XHTML/HTML rule mixing.

Check the homepage already:

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fsavannah.gnu.org%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.3+http%3A%2F%2Fvalidator.w3.org%2Fservices

it would be helpful and trivial to fix for example:

 Line 107, Column 7: end tag for "br" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified

In this case, the bug tracking packcge (bugs.gnustep.org)

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fsavannah.gnu.org%2Fbugs%2F%3Fgroup%3Dgnustep&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.3+http%3A%2F%2Fvalidator.w3.org%2Fservices

shows additional errors, some of them inherited.
