ezoe ezxml header-tag vs. html-header-tag level

Wednesday 25 August 2010 11:34:11 am

Hy,

just fell across the following issue and would like to know the technical reasons for this design decision:

http://share.ez.no/articles/ez-publish/how-to-skin-an-ez-publish-now-site/(page)/9

"h1 in XML in the Online Editor is equivalent to h2 in XHTML; h2 in XML in the Online Editor is equivalent to h3 and so on."

I know it's not a bug, it is a feature. But I would like to know WHY (technically speaking) a ezxml header-tag level 2 is translated to an (x)html header tag level 3.

Thank you.

I think the standard is the h1 is more *important* than h2, but not necessarily the first .. or ..

http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml2/mod-structural.html#sec_8.5.

doh .. "The practice of skipping header levels is considered to be bad practice. The series h1 h2 h1 is acceptable, while h1 h3 h1 is not, since the heading level h2 has been skipped."

...that still doesnt explain why <header level="1"> becomes <h2>. very confusing indeed. I think in most designs h1 would be reserved for the title of the page .. so the content of the xmlblock should indeed often be lower. still, if that was the choice, they should have limited it to 5 headers by default. you can change all that ofcourse.

you can opt out of the h1 becomes h2 stuff by overriding header.tpl, original is in:

> btw: git/github rocks

Oh yes! In the prosess of creating a git guid for getting source and contributing easily with Github GIt style. So much easier to do for reviews, testing & sharing new stuff, and suggest changes..

fork -> change -> push topic branch -> request pull

(iterate change and push until you / ez / others are happy with the change using online review and diffs)
