Currently, the pages in "help contents" are written as HTML 4.01 Transitional, even though they have no DOCTYPE declaration and some of them do not validate as correct(see bug 95769). This isn't good enough for a browser that tries to support the latest standards. These files should be rewritten as XHTML 1.0 and styled with a CSS. We should ensure in future that all the browser's internal html pages validate correctly. The advantages of XHTML over HTML are well documented (see the many articles on alistapart.com and similar sites), improving accessibility (particularly important for the help pages) and making the code easier to modify in future. A 6.0 browser shouldn't be using things like "bgcolor" in its own pages when most sensible websites have abandoned such hacks ages ago. (using build 2001081603, winNT)

I agree on CSS styling and validation. However, I don't see XHTML 1.0 (*in this case*) providing any benefit over HTML 4.01. OTOH, if you want to switch to XHTML, why wouldn't you switch directly to XHTML 1.1 (and parsing it with the XML parser, too)?
Comment 2•23 years ago
|
||
I totally agree, though it should be the latest version, xhtml 1.1, as Henri says. If this involves just editing the html files I'd be happy to do it.

Either this bug, or bug 95769 is a dup, but it is a good project either way.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
OS: Windows NT → All
Hardware: PC → All
Except that (almost) no one reads the help files. Reporter (Cormac,) since you feel so strongly about this, do you want to pitch in and rewrite some of the docs? Wouldn't be that hard to feed them to an HTML Tidy script ...
I wasn't aware there was a new version of xhtml - have to have a look at that. Mike T - I wouldn't say I felt strongly about it! Just an observation from a standards-oriented person - I'll certainly have a look at the help files over the weekend and see how much work is involved (laborious repititious work, I imagine, but i might take it off your hands.)
Summary: 'Help' pages should be rewritten as XHTML 1.0 → 'Help' pages should be rewritten as XHTML 1.1
Comment 6•23 years ago

Please note that: * Parsing XHTML as tag soup using the HTML parser is uncool and isn't a good example for others. (XHTML 1.1 shouldn't be sent as text/html on the Web, either.) * Parsing local files as XML requires the suffix .xml. Probably not worth the trouble. (Removing self from CC.)

Local XHTML pages will be parsed with XML parser if they have .xhtml extension. Converting these to XHTML and parsing it as XML would also require much more caution when they are modified in the future, because of strict nature of XML. Whole work would require modification of about 25 files totalling in about 450KiB of HTML code. Also the pages seem to contain screenshots of Netscape, not Mozilla. I'm not sure if there's a bug for that. And screenshots are done in GIF, might as well convert them to PNG to be extra cool.
Comment 8•23 years ago
|
||
Um, looking at the some of the help docs, the HTML is pretty awful. As an example, certs_help.html contains lots of <p> </p> stuff which as we all know Mozilla should never need and indeed causes problems on many "old style" sites. Hell, I can have a go at this, and provide a zip at the end containing the new .xml files. Anyone wanna join me?

Comment 9•23 years ago

Please note that if extension is converted to .xml or (more feasible) .xhtml the pages will be affected by bug 44458. So take caution when deciding to change the file extension, it might be a good idea to leave it as .html after conversion until XHTML is fully supported. Officially Mozilla does not have XHTML support as far as I know.
Comment 10•23 years ago

Updating summary and ACCEPTING (was:"'Help' pages should be rewritten as XHTML 1.1"). There seems to be some disagreement about what format is best, but certainly the docs could be improved and made better exemplars of our standard support. Let's track the NS v. Mozilla doc issues in 46917 (whose summary might also want updating) and track format stuff like XML/XHTML/HTML here.

*** Bug 95769 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I am getting ready to fix bug 44458. However, I would like you to consider if you REALLY want to use XML-based help. The reason I am saying this is that it is possible our HTML handling might be faster. Also we have incremental layout for HTML (which matters if the file is large). And finally, we have more bugs in XHTML than plain HTML. If you have considered all these and XML still wins, I am fine with it.
Comment 13•23 years ago
|
||
Yeah, don't sweat that on our account, Heikki. After looking at this stuff a little more, I am convinced that HTML is going to be the best here.
Comment 14•22 years ago
|

I started to sanitize those HTML files right after I checked then out (that was on July 25th 2002) from the tree. They will stay HTML files, but they will obey to XHTML 1.1 rules. Question: Do I really need to prefix hyperlinks destination, images source and style-sheet link by "chrome://help/locale/"?
Comment 15•22 years ago
|
||
Yesterday i see the invalid HTML in the german de-AT help and create the bug 184398. Then i found this bug, with the same problem in the english help. How far is the sanitize? If i can, i would help! But i think XHTML 1.0 is the better way, because the most browser can show them. Ok, normally Mozilla show his own help, but is this a reason to exclude other browser? ;) A other way would be XML and a transformer to XHTML, like the Apache documentation use: Documentation Project <http://httpd.apache.org/docs-project/> Module Format and Transformation <http://httpd.apache.org/docs-project/docsformat.html> But clean XHTML 1.0 and CSS should be the easiest way.
Comment 16•22 years ago
|
||
I think that HTML documents are the best way to go because of the several comments mentined here (speed, parser etc.) - but make those HTML documents apply to the XHTML 1.1 rules, like comment #14 taks about. Please make it with XHTML 1.1 in mind (and not just 1.0), and please add a HTML 4.01 Strict doctype to the files (for now). It's really a bad example if our own internal HTML files don't apply to the high standards we say we'd like to see from others...
Comment 17•22 years ago
|
||
I revamp the file 'content_style.css' and made it valid CSS. It was a little bit to complex. :) I take the most from the old css-file. Only few changes, for example: * Rewrite the syntax for better read! I hope! ;) * Remove the 'line-height' from class '.inthissection' and '.inthissections'. I looks unaesthetic at long lines with a line break. * 'text-align:left' and 'font-style:normal' has no effect at headers. * Add 'px' to the most numerical values. I hope you can use it!

Comment 20•22 years ago
|
||
If our XML parser is slower than our HTML parser, it needs fixing. If we have bugs in our XHTML code, _that_ needs fixing. If we can use our help system as a way to push both of the issues, all the better. I think we should go with XHTML. It would also allow us to use entities to brand the help files easily.
I would actually bet that our XML/XHTML parsing is faster than HTML. There are some bugs (but not sure if they affect help files). Also there are some differencies between HTML and XHTML that might need to be addressed in help content (like usemap referring to ID values instead of name) but I am not sure if we have those in help content. The biggest issue as far as I see it is incremental layout. HTML has it, XML/XHTML doesn't, and I believe it would be a lot of work to implement it. Regarding branding, someone pointed out on IRC that it could be done in HTML as well by using CSS-generated content. But still, personally I'd like us to use XHTML for help and fix all the bugs that prevent that from happening. I just don't see it as a high priority.
Comment 22•22 years ago
|
||
That's because you're not trying to create a Mozilla based browser. OR have current help in Mozilla. The help situation in Mozilla is REALLY bad. People should be able to create a derivative browser and use Mozilla help by changing branding info in one place. They can't do this today, and Netscape doesn't bother contributing the help because it says "Netscape" everywhere. If we could solve this, Netscape help could be contributed to Mozilla and life would be very good.
Comment 23•22 years ago

||
I was going to try updating the mozilla.org help docs a few days ago, but some of my contacts told me the Netscape was about to drop a load into the tree. Just though I would let the folk following this bug know after seeing the recent comments.

Now that updated help is in, I am going through all the Documentation > User bugs that are not verified and updating them as appropriate. I will probably then work on rewriting/fixing stuff.

For the record, we (IBM) have nice XHTML versions of the Netscape 7.1 helps that have been cleaned up. We have replaced Mozilla with &brandShortName; so it can be easily replaced, as well as putting Netscape content in CSS tags so it can be easily eliminated.

Unless mozilla.org decides to not use Firebird as the default during 1.6a, Seamonkey Help is done. If you have any documentation related to the birds, feel free to attach them so I can take a look.

This is the CSS I'd like to use in the new XHTML 1.1 layout. This CSS file would go in chrome://help/locale/helpFileLayout.css (or mozilla/extensions/help/resources/locale/en-US/helpFileLayout.css). This CSS is a modified version of the CSS in Firebird Help (http://firebirdhelp.mozdev.org). Hopefully we can start moving the help files over to this new CSS layout one at a time.

Also if this is a list then it should use <ul> and <li> tags rather than <div> - CSS should then be used to fix up unwanted styles e.g. bullets, indents, but the document is still reviewable without the CSS :-)

Comment 45•21 years ago

Where does it use <div> instead of <ul>s? If it does, then that's an error. it looks reviewable without the CSS. The review would be the content basically. I will make a new version of the file with the hyperlinks soon. I'll try and diff the new files instead of posting them like this. Now that I have CVS access, it should be easier.

Yes, caillon, this is an issue.

Comment 63•21 years ago
|

caillon, I got a more appropriate answer to your question. If you notice in mail_help.html, h1 tags are used as a section heading, then h2 tags are used as a sub-section heading, then h3 tags are used to show each topic of each section. If you notice, certs_prefs_help doesn't have sub-sections, so h2 tags would never be used. mail_help.html does have sub-sections, so h2 tags would be used. This may be changed in the future. I'm not too happy with it, but it'll do for now.

RCS file moves have been completed. all *.html files in mozilla/extensions/help/resources/locale/en-US have been *copied* to *.xhtml with the existing revision history intact. The new .xhtml files have had all existing tags and branches removed so that they only exist on HEAD and won't be pulled when people pull old tags. (people pulling by date will get them, but oh well) The existing *.html files are still there. I'm told those can't be removed until all of the places that refer to them are fixed. Those will need to be cvs deleted at the time those references are fixed. There is one .xhtml file that was already created via cvs add. Your best bet at preserving history on that one is adding a comment at the top of the file noting that the previous history is in the .html version. Since it's already existed for 3 weeks, we can't copy the old .html overtop of it without causing cvs conflicts for the people who already have it checked out.

Here is the patch for composer_help.xhtml. As you (RJ) suggested, the old <a name=""> tags are only commented out. The patch is quite long and complex, because I did some re-formatting for a better source reading. That's why each out-commented <a name="">-tag (or group of tags) has "anchorX:" in front, so you can easily search for the TOC-changes. I've also made a change in the helpFileLayout.css, because the <tt>-tag is to small (at the end of the patch)

Why did you commented out <a name> tags instead of replacing them with <a id> ?

Why should I use any <a's> when I can put it in <h1>, <p>, and so on?

Alexy: I told him to comment out the <a> tags. We are moving to using element IDs instead of name tags because using <a name=""> causes sometimes in rare situations causes layout problems. The real reason is because it's easier to read and is cleaner.

yeah, they should, but that's not really what this bug covers. This bug is about
getting the old HTML Help documentation to XHTML and moving to the new CSS
layout (which is viewed best when using stuff like IDs). This is not a cleanup
bug, but cleanup can be a plus ;).
I'll be reviewing the composer files once I attach the mail XHTML docs, which
will be very soon.

Comment on attachment 135084 [details] [diff] [review] composer_help.xhtml Wow! This is good stuff! A couple of comment I have: I would follow comment #74 because the composer docs seem to have a much bigger problem with this than the other help docs do. I'd also remove <hr> tags where you see them. Any kind of borders should be done by the CSS.

Yes, "moving to the new CSS layout" includes getting rid of those and has nothing to do with cleanup. I see nothing wrong with <hr>. They are not borders, they are separators. However <hr> indeed could be removed or renamed in the future: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml2/mod-block-text.html#sec_8.6.

The problem is that headings have a border-top attribute set on them (that simulate <hr>'s) or special formatting that doesn't look very good with an <hr> above them.

Revised patch. All <p> </p> (and similar) are gone and in the CSS-file changed. I killed all the <hr> and made the gaps between the sections a little bigger (also in the CSS), RJ feel free to change this into another layout if you think so. Daniel thanks for comment #80 - I didn't thought about that.

Comment on attachment 135115 [details] [diff] [review] composer_help.xhtml very close! The word "Mozilla" should be replaced with &brandShortName; (because if we didn't, then the DTD wouldn't be necessary). so the title would be "Creating Web Pages with &brandShortName; Composer" instead of "Creating Web Pages with Mozilla Composer" and everywhere else the word Mozilla is in the document. Also, if you want to do a little extra, you can take those comments out now. I just wanted one copy with the comments so I can change the TOC. If you don't have time, I'll do it.

There were some nesting errors and for proper fixing, I made the source more readable.

Some suggestions for futures releases : Working on small files is easier. For example, mail_help is awful to maintain and to translate, same for using_priv_help and composer_help. - using_priv_help - This file could be split in 2 parts, using_priv_help and forms_help. - Informations about password manager could be merge into password_help (lots of informations are redundant). - May be create a cookies_help file. -composer_help - Split in 3 files : composer_help, web_publishing_help and cs_comp_prefs_help - mail_help - Split in 3 or 4 files : mail_help, newsgroup_help, working_offline_help and cs_mail_prefs_help - May be a fifth file : mail_settings_help -nav_help - Split in 2 files Some important help parts are still missing : specially junk mail control, which is a very important feature of Mozilla.

The file "mail_help.xhtml" still uses "Mozilla" in the title. It should either be changed to "Using &brandShortName; Mail & Newsgroups" or just "Using Mail & Newsgroups". I'm more partial to the latter.

I'm actually converting the help files to xhtml in bug 236942 (been doing a few so far). The summary isn't that obvious, since my ambition from the beginning was just to clean up the code in the html files and use helpFileLayout.css for the style. Frédéric, if you plan to do some more files we should get in contact - so we're not doing the same files :)

This patch converts the following help files to xhtml: cs_nav_prefs_navigator using_certs_help using_priv_help As usual, the code has been cleaned up a bit and the copyright line etc has been fixed. using_priv_help:s table now uses the default table style. The two issues reported by Giacomo (a remaining "1." in cs_nav_prefs_advanced and a missing line in cs_nav_prefs_appearance) is now fixed. I've also fixed the <em> tags in certs_help.xhtml and glossary.xhtml, previously reported by Frédéric in bug 236942, comment #47. Apart from that and the correction of a few minor typos/missing words etc, the following has been fixed in the files: using_priv_help: *fixed the link to foreign cookies to point to "what are third-party cookies" in privacy_help *Changed the heading "Managing Stored Passwords" to "Viewing and Managing Stored Passwords" so it corresponds with the title in "In this section". privsec_help: Changed the link "Forms" in privsec_help to point to "Privacy & Security - Forms" (these links needs to be looked over, but this is better than linking to the Form Manager). certs_prefs_help: Added the copyright line

This patch converts nav_help.html to xhtml. It also includes the clean-up in attachment #152791 [details] [diff] [review]. As usual, the copyright line has been altered. Apart from some very small corrections (like changing one alt text and removing "Return" from the content in <ul class="noMac">), nothing else have been changed in the file (although the file really needs to be updated...). Since I couldn't find the corresponding anchor/content in the xhtml file I removed the following from help-index1.rdf: <rdf:Description ID="web_pages:finding_related" nc:name="finding related web pages" nc:link="nav_help.html#web_pages:finding_relatedIDX"/> </rdf:li>

Here's an updated version of Michael Stadlbauer's patch (composer_help and helpFileLayout.css) - credits should go to him. I have just made some small corrections like a new copyrightline without &brandShortName; "in Mozilla Foundation", a few changed/removed id:s etc. The heading "Changing the Default Publishing Site" is now "Choosing the Default Publishing Site". In helpFileLayout.css I just did another indentation and left out the comment "Otherwise it's too small". A patch with changes in help-index1.rdf, help-toc.rdf, jar.mn and the other help files will be up in a few minutes.

Includes clean-up of obsolete files in jar.mn. Removed some unnecessary anchors in the beginning of help-toc.rdf as well.

Comment on attachment 154321 [details] [diff] [review] patch for the links and anchors etc I guess we could resolve this bug when these last patches are in? The remaining issues (like applying one of Michaels css-styles in the other files and taking care of some <b> tags etc will be fixed in another bug.

Fix checked in!!!!!!!!! Wow! I thought this would never get done! Thanks for everyone who made it possible! I'm going to run a link checker on the XHTML files and check the TOC and index for dead links to make sure we don't have any regressions from this. marking FIXED.

Why was this bug closed? buttons.png and print.png (referenced by help_help.xhtml and welcome_help.xhtml) are nowhere to be found according to LXR.

R.J.: You forgot to check in attachment #154329 [details] [diff] [review] - that was the updated composer.xhtml patch ;). The patch you checked in was just the toc and link updates. And shouldn't Neils patches go in as well ( attachment #151650 [details] [diff] [review] and attachment #151674 [details] [diff] [review])?

(In reply to comment #150) > Why was this bug closed? buttons.png and print.png (referenced by > help_help.xhtml and welcome_help.xhtml) are nowhere to be found according to LXR. That has nothing to do with this bug. This bug is about moving HTML -> XHTML.

I'll make another landing.

(In reply to comment #153) >That has nothing to do with this bug. This bug is about moving HTML -> XHTML. The problem is that your check in converting html to xhtml did replace the old linked images in the .xhtml files, without replacing them with the new referenced ones. Probably it was better catching this during review, but nevermind, I'll open a new bug for this if you think it's better.
