[CLOSED] xht (XHTML) File - Doesn`t Meet XHTML Standard

When the PCHOLD output format of a simple report is set to EXL2K, WF
generates either a .xmh or a .xht depending on whether the WEBARCHIVE
property is set to on or off (Default on...xmh file generated).

However, when the .xht file is generated, it does not generated .xht
code that satisfies xhtml standards i.e. it fails the validation test
located here: http://validator.w3.org/

Also, note that my redirection settings are set to yes for both
`Redirect`and `Save`for .xls, .xht and .xmh. This is what allows me to
intercept the .xmh or .xht before it becomes a .xls.

Here is the code I`m running:
TABLE FILE CAR
 SUM
 CAR.BODY.SALES
 BY  LOWEST CAR.COMP.CAR
 ON TABLE SET WEBARCHIVE OFF
 ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
 ON TABLE NOTOTAL
 ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
 ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
 ON TABLE SET STYLE *
 INCLUDE = endeflt,
 $
 TYPE=REPORT,
 LINES-PER-PAGE=20,
 $
 ENDSTYLE
 END


Here is the beginning part of the resulting .xht:
  <html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
 xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
 xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"
 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">
 
 <HEAD>
 <meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-
 1252">
 <style>
 <!--table
 {border-collapse:collapse;
 mso-displayed-decimal-separator:"\.";
 mso-displayed-thousand-separator:"\,";}
 @page
 {margin:1.0in .75in 1.0in .75in;
 mso-header-margin:.5in;
 mso-footer-margin:.5in;}
 tr
 {mso-height-source:auto;}
 col
 {mso-width-source:auto;}


When I run the file into the validator, I get over 190 errors due to
simple things the .xht code MUST contain such as a DOCTYPE at the very
top. Similarly, everything needs to be lowercase in xhtml but the code
generated has syntax such as HEAD which is NOT lowercase.

I simply need WF to generate a file that would pass the w3 validator
tool. Please view this wiki page on XHTML for sample code:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XHTML

Please let me know
what I can do to get the file validated. Thanks so much!

The only real way you can get this fixed is to open a case with IB tech support and hope that it is deemed important enough to get on the shortlist of things to fix.
This will not be accomplished overnight, however.
The alternative is to create some process yourself to automatically correct the IB output, possibly using DM or TABLE.
