Comment on Tutorial: HTML Sanitizing and Parsing

  1. Hi, Daniel!

    We do get notified of comments on admin posts, even the very ones!

    We do have plans to eventually support HTML5 tags once we switch the doctype on the Archive to the HTML5 validation schema. I know several of our front-end volunteers would love the chance to re-structure several of the page templates. However, our pages are currently validated using a XHTML 1.0 Strict schema. Allowing the newer tags would break the validation, which can occasionally cause some browsers to present security errors. Additionally, these newer tags are non-functional without some javascript chicanery in a number of the browsers our visitors use to access the site. As soon as we switch to HTML5, we'll revise the tags in the sanitized list.

    We do welcome pull requests to the project, but this one would likely not get accepted for a while. If you have specific questions about coding and design, you can contact us either the Support form or using the information in the wiki section on github!

    Best,
