Forums / Cotonti / Development / Poll: A global switch to HTML parsing

According to general good front-end development practices, nl2br is not preferable. The <br/> tag should only be used if absolutely necessary or the logical choice, and NOT for seperating paragraphs. The <p> tag is the only acceptable and flexible way to do this. Since BBcodes uses <br> tags it is yet another reason to make the switch.

In general, I try to follow the Dutch government Web Standards as much as possible. These standards also include guidelines for paragraphs.
