Fix Tag Structure For XHTML Compliance

While working with (X)HTML you can quickly become a victim of invalid tag mistakes that mess with the structure of your document. Failure to comply with rules on how tags need to be ordered, placed, and closed can cause to Web Pages to display information incorrectly and they certainly do not comply with web standards. Aggiorno currently handles 3 types of conversions that deal with common task mistakes: fix invalid tag structure, fix shuffled tags, and fix unclosed tags. This aggiorning uses the XHTML 1.0 Transitional DOCTYPE as a reference. You can find detailed examples below

Invalid Tag Structure Fixes

Aggiorno can help you find these errors and automatically carry out these types of conversions:

Shuffled Tags Fixes

Shuffled tags, commonly referred to as a “tag soup”, is similar to having an invalid tag structure. It can usually be fixed by merely shuffling back the closing or opening tags, but sometimes a more complex transformation is called for. Aggiorno can spot these syntactic errors and assist you in fixing them:

Unclosed Tags Fixes

Aggiorno can find these, and as can be seen in the following code sample, can fix a table whose row and column tags were incorrectly closed:
