Dear Folks,
I have the following question in regard to the HTML 5 generated by Pandoc.
Is Pandoc generating HTML 5 using the XHTML standard?
When validating the generated HTML through the W3C validator I see the following information notices about void elements:
Trailing slash on void elements has no effect and interacts badly with unquoted attribute values.
Since this is just informational I am not too worried about the trailing slash being placed at the end of elements although it does not seem to be part of the HTML 5 standard.
However, when I am faced with an error like below I would like to fix it:
Error: Bad value doc-endnotes for attribute role on element aside. </figure>↩<aside id="footnotes" class="footnotes footnotes-end-of-document"↩role="doc-endnotes">↩<hr />
I would like to know the community's verdict on this and how I may remove these messages while validating if at all possible.
Many thanks
