[Plugin: FD Footnotes Plugin] fd footnotes - weird xhtml validation issue (4 posts)

    Hi there,

    Thanks for a great plugin!

    One question on xhtml validation: when using footnotes, single pages validates in xhtml fine (e.g. sammarsh.net/?p=638).

    However, when validating my blog front page, with the 'more' tag added (e.g., currently, sammarsh.net/).

    Any ideas if there's anything that can be done about this?

    don't know if this is relevant but I was having an W3C XHTML validation error and I noticed that for some reason an extra <p> tag was at the start of the code just above the footnotes <div class='footnotes'> without a closing </p> tag. I solved it by writing in HTML mode and making sure paragraphs were all started and finished properly with <p></p> tags. Images as well.

    I figured out what caused it:

    wordpress automatically inserts <p> and
    sometimes when saving a post/page. If you stop it from doing this with the tiny mce advance plugin it validates fine without hacking the plugin.
