Abstract
Being familiar with web technologies and standards is not sufficient for standardizing invalid sites and developing valid sites from scratch. Web site standardization is always a complex project, and it takes into account a variety of requirements simultaneously. The list includes, but is not limited to, full standard compliance; optimal code length; interoperability; meaningful, structured, and accessible content; adequate metadata; and proper settings. Creating valid code can be learned most efficiently through the collection of step-by-step guidelines provided in this chapter.

- 1.
Each step-by-step guide in this chapter focuses on a particular element or element group and the corresponding markup elements. The complexity of the markup will increase drastically when adding additional contents and attributes, but the basic structure always remains the same.
- 2.
Development tools often provide templates and skeleton documents to begin your work with. Even text editors have options to insert markup elements, which can be faster than typing.
- 3.
XHTML 2.0 also provides the more specific element nl for navigation lists, which is not supported by any other markup language.
- 4.
Note that in this case the identifiers should be changed from id to class in the markup and from hash mark (#) to period (.) in the CSS.
- 5.
Another option is to retrieve the desired number of channel items with scripting. If you want to publish the latest news as part of a web page rather than a separate file, you need a script that opens the file, retrieves the contents of the news feed items, and generates the corresponding markup code.
