XHTML Restrictions

You must enter usage hints in an XHTML compliant format. However, not all data that
may appear in an XHTML page may also appear in a usage hint. Variations with browser
technology present challenges when creating usage hints. Before finalizing a project with
complex usage hints, test and view your files before releasing your final report. Below is
a short summary of XHTML details as they apply to individual usage hints:

• XHTML, unlike HTML, requires you to follow XML syntax rules. These rules

require element names to be case sensitive and in lower case, and require all
elements to be fully balanced and fully closed.

• XHTML tags used in table cells (i.e., between <td> and </td>) are typically OK.

XHTML tags that may not appear in table cells are not supported, an unlikely to
work correctly.

• You cannot use DTD records, XML headers, DOCTYPE tags, and METATAG

elements.

• Host any script source code in a separate file, and reference it using a <script

src=”.” /> tag.
