So... what is the point of this committee, exactly? Shouldn't everybody be replacing "bad code" when they see it? And what is wrong with the font tag? Are we getting rid of all HTML? Aurora the Homestar Coder 18:57, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Nothing is necessarily wrong with the <font> tag, except that it is only valid for older versions of HTML. The wiki uses XHTML 1.0, and the <font> tag is deprecated in that language, meaning it is no longer in use and will invalidate your page if you use it. Invalid pages may not display properly in some browsers. Instead, you should use the more appropriate <span> tag. —JoeyDay (Talk) 19:23, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
