[TxMt] PHP vs XHTML?

[Sean Schertell]

Thanks Allan,

You're right, adding the shell variable seems to fix things right up.  
I noticed that the ctl-return shortcut now writes a break tag like  
this "<br/>" rather than with a space preceding the backslash like  
this: "<br />" -- slightly off-topic, but is this correct? I thought  
read somewhere that you need that space for full cross-browser  
compatibility or something. No?
