Problems with !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"

Rails

When I include in my header, my CSS files no
longer show… they show up in code though, <%= stylesheet_link_tag
‘display’ %> becomes .

I heard Rails is hard-coded to only do XHTML, and that I might have to
do some monkey patching. But I’m clueless as to how.

Here’s a crazy idea: Use XHTML. Learning to properly nest tags and use
self-closing tags isn’t that big of a deal, really. It’s easier than
learning to use Ruby and Rails’ DSL for web apps.

Turned out I had some stale XHTML tags around.

Anyway I’ve heard that future versions of HTML will not be based on
HTML as opposed to XHTML,
hence there’s no point in switching.
