XF valid (X)HTML(5)?

[James]

Is XF going to be designed with validation in mind? I'd like standard BBCodes to use non-deprecated HTML elements (instead of <u>, maybe <span style="text-decoration: underline;">{param}</span>). That is a bad example considering B, I and U are being re-introduced in HTML5, but you get the idea

I believe it already validates under HTML 5 if I'm not mistaken?

It isn't HTML 5 validate. Well, you can't call it 'not validate', it only had 4 mistakes...

Ah, well, minor I think... otherwise almost there?

 

[Vincent]

Yep, 'almost' is the word

It almost validates indeed. I was enquiring about whether this was a fluke or if they're actually designing it with HTML5 in mind

Perhaps they can also be the first forum to use the contentEditable attribute to edit posts quickly...
