Suggested updates to bio help

Not sure where this should go.

From "How to create your bio"

Could this page be rewritten to reflect the use of XHTML?

SM states to the world that the home page (at least mine) is "XHTML 1.0 Transitional"

As part of this, I thing that SM should encourage individuals to use proper XHTML in their code.
One of the rules of XHTML (and one of the few major differences between XHTML and HTML) is that every tag must be closed. Even those that can self close must still be closed.

"Note: <br> is one of the few HTML commands that doesn't require a closing command. Just put it at the end of your sentence."

While this might work in most browsers the proper way to write it in XHTML is <br />

Under links:
".... The period at end the sentence must go after the </a>, not before it."

Why? Placing the period before the </a> doesn't affect functionality only how the link appears.


On the topic of bios. Is there a reason you don't simply use an Iframe?
One of the advantages would be that an error in the bio code would avoid messing up the rest of the page.

Thanks Mike, I'll make sure that the crew sees this!
