This usually means that any code you write that is published through such a CMS needs to be carefully checked to ensure that it meets the standard (and charset!) selected by the CMS. Some CMSes will help you meet that standard by providing filters to run user-submitted content through. While there is still guesswork about how to translate non-standard markup into standards-compliant markup, using the CMS' provided filters moves the guesswork into the server side, where it can be made ''once'' in a canonical fashion, instead of asking each viewer's web browser to do its own guesswork.51 Many [wiki:content_management_systems Content Management Systems] (or CMSes) already declare a DOCTYPE and charset for you, and use it in their templates and static pages.
