frontpage xhtml standards compliance

C

I have a website in xhtml format. How do I get frontpage to correctly code
for xhtml code differences such as <br /> vs <br> (meta , img, etc )

Frontpage's configuration --page options>code formatting>omit end tag is
selected AND grayed out for br , so I can't simply uncheck this box.

My doc type is below- Is it me, or frontpage?

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

thank you

Unfortunately FP does not have a Schema for XHTML that will automatically code all pages to XHTML
"stds"
But FP2003 will reformat a finished page to XML
- in Code View right click and select Apply XML formatting

That seems to work OK, but it does not insert an XHTML doctype, nor does it
modify the <html> tag to XHTML standards. I suppose you can do this
manually....

Yes - Just create a code snippet that you can reuse

What is a code snippet?. Is this something like a macro to find and replace
all <br> to <br />

Thanks

It's a bit of markup that can be easily inserted in any page. This would be
for the XHTML doctype....

The conversion of <br> to <br /> is well handled by the Apply XML formatting
method mentioned earlier.
