<p>Selecting “Open link in a new window” in the builtin WordPress WYSIWYG editor breack XHTML strict compliance by adding the attribute target=”_blank” to anchor tags. This plugin fixes the problem by replacing the target attribute with a common class attribute and then using a simple jquery script to open the link in a new window. This method allows for correct validation using XHTML 1.0 Strict.</p>

<p>Allows templates to serve XHTML5 markup by adding the necessary JavaScript shim for IE7+, and for IE6 by converting all new elements to <code>div</code>s and <code>span</code>s with class names that contain the original HTML5 element name prefixed by “<code>html5-</code>“, for example: <code><article></code> becomes <code><div class="html5-article"></code><br />
and <code><time></code> becomes <code><span class="html5-time"></code></p>
<p>If the browser supports XHTML, the content is served with the <code>application/xhtml+xml</code><br />
MIME type. This can be disabled by placing <code>remove_filter('option_html_type', 'xhtml5support_filter_html_type')</code><br />
in <code>functions.php</code>.</p>
<p>Note that print stylesheets do not get applied to IE7+ even with the shim, so if you are relying on the ability for IE users to print properly-styled pages, you must force the IE6 renaming behavior for all versions of IE by doing <code>update_option('xhtml_support_add_msie_shims', false);</code></p>
