XHTML output is now enabled for all browsers that support it. (Translation: not Internet Explorer.) This is not trivial, as it means each page must conform to strict XML standards.

If you come across a page that is not well formed, you will get a parser error. I've been using XML myself on a.cc for a while, and I know there are many of them. You should do two things if that happens:

• report the url on this thread, or to me via PM when this thread is closed.

• append ?xml=off (or &xml=off) to the URL to temporarily disable XML output

Note that the &foo; HTML entities (e.g., —) are not valid XHTML and are not translated. The number codes will still work. I will some day map the HTML entities to number codes automatically for convenience.

Google maps on profile pages are not working yet.

The switch to XML is primarily because I'm a masochist and secondarily because it forces the strictest adherence to the standards, eliminating most cross-platform issues. It will also let me enable MathML, which I have been testing.

Firefox's copy and paste works properly in XML mode, so the missing line breaks in code boxes will no longer be a problem.

(You'll need to refresh before Spell Check works.)

There can't be too many left. I haven't seen any parsing errors for ages.

You should add a Valid XHTML link at the bottom (with the referral check against W3C checker).

The XML is well formed, but there are plenty of XHTML violations.

Update: profile maps are working.

Aww.

I actually thought they were XHTML valid actually. Maybe it's the XML parser not liking them when you don't use a doctype.

I agree (and in fact the doctype I'm using has them specified), but Opera refuses to display them.

Ah, it's Opera's fault. Okay then.

It would be simpler if you just pasted in the URL (and the error message if so inclined) in plain text.

Currently the front page of the forums has this: "Allegro & Windows 7"

This page is completely broken for me:

I approve.

When posting (I mean after clicking on 'post') I often have that one, which goes away after a refresh (and my post is taken in account)

doubt this is a bug, just by design and nothing to do with the xhtml

but on the hover doesn't work with code:

{"name":"600001","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/d\/3\/d384072340152a5915e138b9986ee6b7.png","w":324,"h":144,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/d\/3\/d384072340152a5915e138b9986ee6b7"}

It IS a bug. He forgot two / ;-p

I am 100% sure I got an error here:
http://www.allegro.cc/forums/board/4

Problem is, when I refreshed, it went away...
