Tutorial series - X/HTML Design Tips
Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem
I’m going to start a new, easy-lifting tutorial series that I’ve been meaning to do for a while. It’s focus will be useful exploitation of the X/HTML standard for marking-up your pages in an elegant yet standards-compliant way. I will make an attempt to reference other excellent sources that exist throughout the webiverse wherever appropriate, but for the most part, a lot of these ideas have just come from my own exploration and experimentation with the specification.
Some of the things I will be covering in this tutorial series include (but are not limited to):
- The usage of lesser-known but fully-supported X/HTML tags for common & useful purposes
- Emphasis on a semantic presentation of content
- Minimization of unnecessary markup
- Strict adherence to both the spirit & the letter of the pertinent standards
- Examples of how to exploit the synergy between pertinent standards (e.g., X/HTML, CSS, etc.)
- How to avoid using deprecated tags, attributes, and techniques in favor of more sanctioned alternatives
Comments, questions, and suggestions related to the topics presented are always welcome, and I will do my best to answer them, but no promises are being made. Continue Reading »
