    hi all. Contribute 3/Dreamweaver 8 here. I admin and I have 1 user under me.

    whenever he edits stuff in Contribute, I see a lot of <br> tags. How do I
    make it so that his (and for that matter, my) edits in Contribute put out <br
    /> tags? What about other similar tags?

    Thanks.

    I don't think you can. Contribute doesn't contain any way to set tag
    formats.

    Why do you need them to be <br />? I'm just curious :)

    To be xhtml compliant, of course. now and in the future. isn't that why one reformats code, in general? (I don't see why my question would be suprising .)

    I found a solution for the <br> to <br /> problem !:grin;

    If you change the doctype to :

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

    contribute then changes the <br> to <br />

    hope this helps!

    I'm having this same problem, and I DO have my doc type set as xhtmlDude
    mentions in his post. Even with that in place, Contribute still inserts <br>
    instead of <br/> (among other things). Is there some other attribute
    Contribute looks for when looking for whether a file should be treated as
    strict XHTML?
