Outro

What did we cover this time?

Write HTML. Check your HTML output on conformance—i.e., validate.

Aim for a good balance. Quality web development depends on many factors.

Fight divitis. Like not checking on conformance, it’s one of the field’s afflictions.

Stop closing void elements. You don’t have to. Do it for the same reasons you’re using JSON—you don’t need XML for the job.

Minimize attributes. Find joy in that, too.

Beware metadata madness. There’s nothing like too much of a good thing here.

Question table buttons and question button links.

Try to do without verbose form markup (and without default values).

De-duplicate content. De-duplicate content.

Challenge yourself, even when it’s art. Aim to produce the highest-possible quality.

HTML isn’t easy, or: Those who say HTML is easy, know little of HTML.

I’m grateful that you went through these 10 case studies with me. I’m grateful because we’re connected by the understanding that there’s more to HTML than knowing 10 tags (with 28.8% of the output being div elements).

Therefore, all I wish to do now is to thank you. See you around, whether in this series or elsewhere, or anywhere that’s about minimal, quality HTML.
