Language tag

18th June 2002

Mark Pilgrim’s accessiblity series continues: Day 7: Identifying your language. Since I’m using XHTML 1.0 I’ve changed my opening <html> tag to the following:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">

Mark also points out this handy list of ISO639 language codes.
