| Title | Behaviour of XHTML cleanup code is inconsistent with HTML5 cleanup algorithm |
| Status | Completed |

| Description | HTML5 cleans up self-closing tags that are not meant to be self-closing by stripping the self-closing, and then injects the closing of still-open tags while it finds that the next closer is not a match to the last thing opened. The Composr XHTML cleanup tool leaves the self-closer alone. This inconsistency may lead to confusion with AJAX-loaded HTML - which gets pre-cleaned by Composr because the AJAX JavaScript needs it to be XML-compliant. "Why are tags self-closing in one situation but not the other" a user may ask. Give the Composr cleanup tool the same behaviour, which requires knowledge of which HTML tags are not meant to self-close. |
