1The final `</div>` in [`recentchanges.tmpl`][tmpl] gets wrapped in a
2`<p>` tag for some reason, resulting in the following invalid XHTML at
3the end of the [[RecentChanges]] page

5 <p></div></p>

11Also, there is a problem with the `<img>` tags generated by the smiley
12plugin which end up wrapped in a `<pre>` tag in the inline diff output.
13`<img>` tags is not allowed within a `<pre>` block. Maybe the smiley
14plugin should be disabled on [[RecentChanges]]?

25I'll add this here since it's related. I also noticed that the meta tags for
26redirected pages need to be closed in order to be valid XHTML:
27
28 <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10; URL=../ikiwiki/pagespec/">
29
30I'm noticing these problems because I'm serving ikiwiki-generated
31content as `application/xhtml+xml` (as opposed to `text/html`) in order
32to include inline MathML. Any invalid XHTML causes Firefox to halt all
33processing and throw an error. &mdash;[Jason Blevins](http://jblevins.org/)

37Here is a simple patch for the refresh problem. I haven't figured out
38what's causing the recentchanges bug yet.

46It turns out that the invalid XHTML on the recent changes page is due to
47a bug in Markdown. I was using the packaged version of markdown in
48Ubuntu (Gutsy and markdown 1.0.1-6). Everything is fine
49after installing the most recent version of Text::Markdown from CPAN.

51Note that the above patch for the redirect tag is still applicable and
52the smiley issue remains open. --[[JasonBlevins]]
