DTD that uses the Lynx implementaion of HTML?

[Minion]

I've seen links to these on Lynx websites, but they're all 404s.

Does anyone know where I can find one?

[meow]

:confused: Huh? Once again, please! ;)

[meow]

Come on, Minion. I'm dying of curiosity. What are you referring too? Pleeeease...:classic2:

[LastActionHero]

DTD= Document Type Definitions. Maybe he want's a definition that will correctly render the page in lynx.

[Minion]

Correct.

[LastActionHero]

have you checked w3c.org? Maybe there's something there.

[Minion]

Well, I did find the Cougar DTD, which Lynx supports. I guess I'll use that. :)

Thanks for the imput!

I thought Lynx stripped all tags except a few such as <A> and <IMG>? :confused:

:rolleyes: Errrr....that's why I asked. Lynx isn't depending on a certain DTD. You need to write structural HTML for it to be easily read in Lynx though since it's tet only.

I still don't get it...Minion, please explain before I go nuts... I'm curious, see.;):confused:

I'm designing a webpage to be viewed mainly from Lynx. According to several guides I've read, it's a good idea to use a DTD that is close to the Lynx implementation.

I managed to find said DTD, Html Pro (http://www.8op.com/feedthegods/htmlpro.dtd).

Yes, but why the need for a custom DTD? I mean as long as you use structural HTML rather than presentational to format the document Lynx is with you.
I too, am interested in this. Can you point me to some of the sources where you've read about the need for this HTML Pro, please? I don't find anything about it at http://www.trill-home.com/lynx.html. :classic2:

The only link I've got off the top of my head is:
http://www.trill-home.com/lynx/author_tips.html ROTFL

Look around it closely. :)

I have a few others, I'll have to hut 'em down.

I believe the purpose is for validation. This realese includes support for WebTV-only tags, and is the closest there is to the Lynx implementation.

Thanks, I really would appreciate that. :)

I found the HTML Pro links at /author_tips.html when I looked close but they were all outdated.

This DTD is is limited to about the markup Lynx can display and in that way can serve as some kind of authoring guide? Is that it? I guess I misunderstood and thought this DTD had to be used for Lynx to display the document properly.

BTW my validator handles custom DTDs, will be fun to try. ;)

What validator do use? You actually validate your pages?!!! :p

[meow]

Yes, sure. Works like a great spell checker for typos, too. Occasionally the online validator at http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/. My off line validator is ARV: http://arealvalidator.com/. An online version of the same is found here: http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/.
For CSS I sometimes use http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ but prefer http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/csscheck/.

That answer your question? :p

I don't validate my pages! If my page displays correctly in all the browsers(almost) that's enough validation :p

[meow]

Do you have them all?:confused:

[LastActionHero]

Well I have Netscape 4.7 and IE 5.5 . And plus I use dreamweavers browser report tool.
