With web stuff, feelings I have about the value of standards take a backseat to "getting the damn thing working and out the door." That being said, I send XHTML with the text/html mime type.

I prefer XHTML because it is cleaner to work with, and I send as text/html because it most often works.

As far as W3C and Microsoft beating their chests at one another, I've lived through plenty of that. Sometimes I agree philosophically with Microsoft, more often I agree with the W3C. But it doesn't much matter when what I'm sending out the door is the practical solution, not the one that makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
