Markup Validation
Reading Mark's today post Why we won't help you remind me to validate my blog. And yes, validation always reveal problem. It is helpful and fixing some of the bugs I never thought it should have.
Nice. Hey, so I could proudly put the validated icon on my main page...No, not yet, there's still problems. There're special characters in my page couldn't pass the validation. For example, & should be input as &, whitespace as , " as ". Gosh, should I remember all these characters to make my post? Else it couldn't be validated?!
There is default Text Formating on MT to convert line breaks or not. Would there has a convert HTML special characters or not function? Or some plugins? Anybody got a clue?
[update] I got to re-edit a few times to make the special chars displayed correctly. The pre tag didn't work either. The solution must be somewhere as this problem has been fixed years ago. Got to get off my lazy butt and do some study...
