The final </div> in recentchanges.tmpl gets wrapped in a
<p> tag for some reason, resulting in the following invalid XHTML at
the end of the RecentChanges page
<p></div></p>
I'll bet this is fixed if you use the markdown 1.2 prerelease, which has a much less buggy html parser. (Ah, I see below that was the case.) --Joey
Also, there is a problem with the <img> tags generated by the smiley
plugin which end up wrapped in a <pre> tag in the inline diff output.
<img> tags is not allowed within a <pre> block. Maybe the smiley
plugin should be disabled on RecentChanges?
See Smileys in the block code, which is now fixed. --Joey
See the validator output for more details.
I'll add this here since it's related. I also noticed that the meta tags for redirected pages need to be closed in order to be valid XHTML:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10; URL=../ikiwiki/pagespec/">
I'm noticing these problems because I'm serving ikiwiki-generated
content as application/xhtml+xml (as opposed to text/html) in order
to include inline MathML. Any invalid XHTML causes Firefox to halt all
processing and throw an error. —Jason Blevins
Here is a simple patch for the refresh problem. I haven't figured out what's causing the recentchanges bug yet.
Thanks, applied that patch. --Joey
It turns out that the invalid XHTML on the recent changes page is due to a bug in Markdown. I was using the packaged version of markdown in Ubuntu (Gutsy and markdown 1.0.1-6). Everything is fine after installing the most recent version of Text::Markdown from CPAN.
Note that the above patch for the redirect tag is still applicable and the smiley issue remains open. --JasonBlevins
