FreeLists / dokuwiki / [dokuwiki] Isolated CSS and stricter XHTML compliance

[Max Khitrov <max@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone,

I just got finished (well, almost) with integrating dokuwiki into my 
upcoming site, and I must say that I'm a bit disappointed at the rather 
loose standards compliance.

One of the things I had to do is go through all of the style sheets and 
force every element into the div.dokuwiki context because otherwise it 
greatly interfered with the rest of the site. I think it would really 
help if this was either the default setup, or better yet, if classes 
were named in a manner that makes it almost impossible for them to 
interfere with other elements on the page. For example, if you were to 
prefix all class names with dw_ or something like that.

The other thing I wanted to ask is if there are any plans to step up the 
standard compliance? XHTML 1.0 transitional is nice, but we are quickly 
coming up to the point of XHTML 2.0 and I think it wouldn't be a wasted 
effort to try and improve some of the code. The site that I just 
finished designing is using XHTML 1.1, and while I was able to fix most 
of the validation errors, I still have about 16 or so just on the 
Formatting Syntax page. I'll get around to fixing those as well once I 
become a bit more familiar with the inner workings of dokuwiki, but I 
would really not like to go through this again once a new version so out.

Thanks,
- Max
