DC-dot - support for XHTML

Support for XHTML

DC-dot, UKOLN's Web-based Dublin Core generator and editor now provides support for the W3C XHTML 1.0 recommendation.

To use this feature, create your DC metadata in the normal way. Then choose 'XHTML' from the 'Display format' pull down menu.

XHTML 1.0 became a W3C Recommendation on 26 January 2000. It is a reformulation of HTML 4.01 in XML, bringing the rigor of XML to HTML, and can be put to immediate use with existing browsers by following a few simple guidelines.

The key differences between <meta> elements in XHTML and HTML 4 are that:

element names must be in lower-case - <meta> rather than <META>,
empty elements (for example, <meta> and <link>) must end with '/>'.
