Description

Example: The 5.18 version of this module outputs the outdated B tag instead of STRONG.

I think it would greatly help getting more people to use this module if it was adhering to HTML standards.

OpenWYSIWYG is currently listed with "Untested" status for "Valid HTML" on the following handbook page:

"Comparison of Drupal WYSIWYG Editors"

Please make a test and report which tag not compliant. Also please write which application you use for testing.

From my memory of 5.18: the old B(old) tag should be replaced with "strong", and two BR(eaks) directly following each other should be replaced with P(aragraph). Since these are very obvious issues, I assume that there must be more such things.

I have not gotten around to do a thorough review the tags usage, though, as when I discovered those issues, I decided to only use the module for some selected non-critical internal sites.

This module has a potential in its simplicity, but HTML compliance is an important first step selling point, I think.

In my opionion it's a bigger problem that the editor truncates any <_br /_> tags to <_BR_> and so on...

It should be all lowercase and keep the trailing slash for xml standards.

edit: had to transform the tags to display them..
