The previous release of BlogMore had some work that improved the HTML, ensuring that the HTML validator was happy with the generated code. Yesterday evening I ran it over more of the pages, and found a couple more things that made sense to address.

So v2.26.0 takes this a little further and tries to clean more things up. Changes include:

  • The comment email invitation box is now created with a div rather than a section, resolving a validation error about there being no h2 or similar inside the section (because we don't need any kind of heading in there).
  • Cleaned up an error relating to the misuse of an aria-label in the graph page.
  • Cleaned up an error relating to the misuse of an aria-label in the stats page.
  • Removed the h2 elements from the sidebar, making them into divs with the same style. This leaves headings as something that will only appear in the main body of any page or post.
  • Added some heading-demoting to the rendering of posts so that the heading structure of any given post is retained when it's part of any of the archive-style pages (date archives, category archives, tag archives, etc).

While not all of the above were being reported as validation errors, all of them should result in HTML that better fits what I'd want in the first place.
