Formatting requirements for XHTML and CSS document submissions:
- Each document submitted should include a comment listing all authors and the assignment/lab for which it is being submitted.
- Follow standards rather than take shortcuts, even when browsers will "do the right thing" even for the shortcut. Starting with Lab 4, all documents must conform to the XHTML 1.0 Strict DTD and pass the official W3C Markup Validation Service at http://validator.w3.org without warnings or errors.
- Make your documents readable in source form, not just in rendered form. This includes avoiding long lines in your documents when possible, using some white space to separate sections, and commenting items that may not be obvious.
