Description clemty 2012-12-31 19:25:50 UTC 
Created attachment 72355 [details]
document with header and footer

Problem description: 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create writer document with header and/or footer
2. Save document as .html
3. Validate resulting file using HTML tidy plugin in Firefox or using http://validator.w3.org/

Current behavior:
Export creates a "DIV TYPE=FOOTER" which does not validate as HTML 4.01 transitional because "type" is not part of the standard.


Expected behavior:
Create validating HTML code. (Perhaps use CLASS if the content should be styled through CSS or TITLE if it is only needed for readability?)
Operating System: All
Version: 3.6.4.3 release
