Q: How about the external links? I see a MySQL Manual which may be the definitive reference but is not nearly as useful for many users as Dan C's MySQL tutorial at http://www.analysisandsolutions.com/code/mybasic.htm. (Dan maintains the PEAR::DB and his tutorial is widely recognized). External links=high maint, I know, but maybe this is an exception. User:Risource
The problem with changing all the <code> tags to <tt> is that the the <tt> is a font style tag. While not officially deprecated, it is officially discouraged in the Fonts section of the HTML 4.01 Specification[1], and really shouldn't be used at all.
Also, the statement about <pre><code>...</code><pre> being wrong isn't true, at least not from the pure HTML perspective. The reason is that the style sheet can specify different things for the two tags. It's unfortunate that the <code> tag didn't imply preformatting when it was first created, but that's the way things are. The important thing is to first spell out in the Codex:Guidelines page the cases where each should be used. Gary Feldman 12:51, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Which format should I use?

A lot of the validation errors people find when moving to WordPress have to do with the shift from HTML to XHTML. Article is needed that simply explains the tag difference to help users understand what these errors are and how they need to change their markup. Also will be a reference for Validating a Website and other WordPress Lessons that deal with changing tags and maintaining XHMTL validation.

Did you know that you can create a custom template file for author.php? Well, if you do know, then we need you to write an article about creating a custom author page using the author.php template file. This is what we know: There is a plugin from http://guff.szub.net/get-author-profile that will allow author information to be collected and displayed, and a thread about this on the forum at http://wordpress.org/support/topic/27554, and that the author.php can be part of a Theme and is part of the Template Hierarchy. You can take it the rest of the way if you sign up.

We are categorizing the Codex and volunteers are needed to help designate which category every article is in. The first task is to set the main categories. The process is explained at User:Lorelle/Codex_Categories. Simply follow the easy instructions and copy and paste the appropriate category onto the bottom of each of the documents within that category. That's it.
This will help users navigate and find related articles, so this is a very important task. Sign up and list the "category" you will be working on so we don't duplicate effort.
