#! code

In order to validate any page of HTML or XHTML you will need a doctype. This is a string of text that sits at the top of the document and tells the browser exactly what markup standard has been used to create the page.

XHTML Strict

This doctype is used in an XHTML document when you are not using any framset or depreciated tags.

The reverse of turning ASCII text into HTML is to convert HTML into ASCII. And to this end here is a little function that does this.

To include a JavaScript file into a HTML page you can use the script tag with the src parameter pointing towards the source code file. However, there is a subtle difference between the script tag in HTML and XHTML. This is because the language attribute is not supported in XHTML, so if you just copy the code from HTML to XHTML the page won't validate. The solution here is to just leave it out.

For HTML.

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="scripts/javascript.js"></script>

For XHTML

Adding a hyper link for an RSS or Atom feed on your web page works, but that's not all you can do. By adding a link to the head section of the page you can allow your users an alternative method of picking up your feed.

To add an RSS feed use this.

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="http://www.example.com/rssfeed.xml" />

To add an Atom feed use this.
