Makes the files in your project appear human-made.Compliance with standards means that anyone can understand the code and make changes if necessary, regardless of when and by whom it was written.If you plan to contribute to the WordPress core, you should familiarize yourself with these standards, as all code you submit must follow.HTML CODING STANDARDSAll HTML pages must be authenticated with a W3C validator to ensure that the selection is properly configured.
