Hi
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/binaries.html has the XHTML 1.0 logo on it. But after a click on it the validator shows many errors.
bye
Udo

Thanks for pointing that out so we can fix it.
This file is generated from gcc/doc/install.texi, and the problems are
in the generated XHTML commands. For those of you who understand what
those tools are doing and what might be going wrong, or if the wrong
version of the tools is being used, here are some of the problems with
the generated html file:
- end tag for "meta" omitted, or tag not ended with "/>"
- some attribute values in meta tags are not quoted
- no </p> and </li> tags are generated
- an <hr> tag should be <hr />

I'm out of office, and for security problems I cannot access gcc.gnu.org
via SSH, but perhaps you could check whether the version of makeinfo on
gcc.gnu.org is the most current one (the package is called texinfo, but
the output of makeinfo --version is relevant here).
If it's not up-to-date, please ask overseers@gcc.gnu.org to update, else
it would be a good idea to contact the developers of makeinfo and report
these problems.
Thanks,
Gerald

When I run doc/texi2html using makeinfo version 4.2 I get the same
problems that are listed above.
The texinfo documentation says "The HTML generated is mostly standard
(i.e., HTML 2.0, RFC-1866)." It looks like we should use different
headers for html files generated by makeinfo, and don't include the
compliance claim in the footer.

Omitting </p> and generating <hr> instead of <hr /> is valid HTML 2.0.
If we want to be XHTML-compliant, we'd need to get texinfo fixed.

Yes, and Janis already contacted the makeinfo maintainers with a very
nice "bug" report/feature request.
In the meantime, I'm going to hack our scripts to avoid claiming XHTML 1.0
compliance for /install.
