Hi Bruce, When I first started coding HTML in 1992, tags were uppercase. In fact, you can read more here:
http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_elements.asp As of HTML 4 (1999), the W3C (the group that dictates HTML standards) recommended lowercase tags; HTML5 and XHTML require lowercase tags to validate. There's nothing stopping you from using uppercase tags in HTML, but if validation is needed, you shouldn't. I hope that clarifies. -- Brian Frick On Sep 29, 2011, at 11:45 PM, blinde <[email protected]> wrote: > > john > > ok, so now I'm confused. if tags are supposed to be lower case, why > does bbedit offer a palette button to make tags upper case? also, the > HTML spec shows attributes as lower case, but all of their examples > have upper case tags > > I don't mind learning something new... no matter how much it hurts! > > please advise (although my question stands) > > thx > bruce > > > > > > > > > > > On Sep 29, 12:19 pm, John Delacour <[email protected]> wrote: >> At 11:40 -0700 29/9/11, blinde wrote: >> >>> actually, i use the utilities palette... but i'm looking for a setting >>> so i don't have to do this manually... i would always get upper case >>> tags... anyone else? >> >> If Barebones were ever to make it possible to have upper case tags >> inserted with their markup utilities, I'd suspect Rich had already >> been sedated.
