Modern Campus CMS Notice (August 7, 2025)Link to this section

The W3C Validator has been updated to version 24.10.17. Pages will be validated against this version when using the W3C validator in page and final check. This update did not require a CMS release, only an update to the system running the W3C (HTML) Validator. We have also hidden the message Trailing slash on void elements has no effect and interacts badly with unquoted attribute values as it is informational, which was resulting in false positives. This change applies to all customers, including our Self-Host customers on any version of the CMS.
