Textile 2 beta is out.


I have indeed included support for Textile in b2evolution 0.8.2 a few weeks ago... so I guess I'll soon have to come back there and replace it with textile 2 :P

If you are a web-standards supporting -- or even just a web-standards aware -- blogger, you probably have a "Valid XHTML" button somewhere on your blog template...


But, after each new post, do you actually take the time to validate the new blog page in order to make sure no typo sneaked in and ruined your otherwise so pure XHTML markup? U-(


Even worse, what happens when an unscrupulous reader leaves a comment, using the best tagsoup he could ever produce in a miserable attempt to make his contribution look better? :no:


Of course, you filter some tags, you probably remove undesired ones, you even close unmatched opening tags... but what do you do when presented with some syntaxic nightmare like <strong href="junk"> hello <ul> <blockquote> <li> world </strong> ? 88|


There's only one solution: integrate an XHTML validator into your blogtool!


b2evolution does integrate this, starting with version 0.8.2 which will be available shortly!


In the meantime, if you wish, you can try out the validator using the comment field for this post... ;)

For a long time, this website has just been a placeholder with links to download and forums...


Sorry I had no time taking care of it before... I had so much work on b2evolution itself... XX(


Finally, I'm taking a little break to build up a somewhat better site here. Hope you like it! ;) As you may have noticed, I took some great inspiration from Sabrina's evoskins.org B)


Also, this here is the new official news blog for b2evolution. You'll find links to the RSS feeds at the bottom of this page, so hurry up and make sure you don't miss a thing: add this to your news aggregator!


PS: have you noticed my new Ben & Jerry's inspired tagline? :P

b2evolution version 0.8.2 is on its way…

You can get a sneak preview here: http://b2evolution.net/demo/

There are 42 enhancements over the last public release. Can you find them all ?

PS: this is Release Candidate 1, so expect one or two little bugs… but they should be even harder to find than the last 2 enhancements… at least I hope so :P

Update: some kid must have found it funny to change the password for the demouser allowing you to access the backoffice… Bleh! :-/ It’s back now… with a lock so it doesn’t get changed again… This is sooo lame…

Vous qui êtes un bloggueur militant, ou plus simplement respectueux des standards web, vous avez sûrement un bouton "Valid XHTML" quelque part sur votre page de blog…

Mais prenez vous vraiment le temps, à chaque fois que vous postez, de valider la nouvelle page afin d’être sûr qu’aucune faute de frappe n’est venue entâcher un code si pur? U-(

Pire… que se passe-t-il lorsqu’un visiteur peu scrupuleux laisse un commentaire en appliquant son plus beau marquage HTML façon Royco? :no: Bien sûr, vous filtrez certains tags, vous supprimez peut être les tags indésirables, vous refermez peut être même les tags laissés ouverts, mais que faites vous contre un truc du genre <strong href="n'importe nawak"> hello <ul> <blockquote> <li> world </strong> ? 88|

Seule solution: intégrer un validateur XHTML dans votre outil de blog!

b2evolution intègre celà à partir de la version 0.8.2, laquelle sera disponible sous peu. En attendant, si vous voulez, vous pouvez tester le validateur dans la zone de saisie de commentaires du présent post… ;)

Brian of Memenet is offering free hosting to anyone wishing to run a b2evolution blog! :yes:

However, if I were you, I wouldn't wait until it's too late... :!:
