By now, you should have been sent a document containing text that I’d like you to convert to a valid XHTML Strict document. Match the formatting found in the document as closely as possible, paying particular attention to text alignment, font size, and font weight. Some of the formatting will require CSS, which you should write in either an external file (this is preferred) or in the head section of the XHTML doc.
The goal of this project is to test your ability to code the document from scratch, so avoid using applications that generate the HTML code for you, such as Word. They almost invariably generate more code than is actually needed and your grade will be docked considerably if you use one. Instead, I recommend you use a basic text editor like Notepad or an editor designed for HTML coding if you have experience with one. (We'll discuss some of these later in the course.)
You can refer to the links below for an example in which I've replicated a document similar to the one you've been assigned:
Example document [1]
My XHTML/CSS solution [2]
You may be tempted to find your assigned document online and copy its source code. To discourage this, I’ve made small modifications to each document. If I find that you’ve submitted a document that matches the original and not the one that I sent you, I will consider it an academic integrity violation (resulting in a grade of 0).
For full credit, your page must pass through the World Wide Web Consortium’s page validator [3] without errors.
From this point on in the course, you should be publishing your assignments to your PSU e-Portfolio (or to some other web host, if you prefer).
This project is one week in length. Please refer to the Canvas course Calendar for the due date.
