Subject: Re: Stumped:: web HTML. Caution, may be OT.
you probably didn't start with the earlier markup. back then,
'93-4, there was <BR>,<P>, <B>, and <EM>. i wrote a 2.2K-line
program to handle "hi" -> ``hi'' and a couple other things.
the code has evolved, of course, but still works.
Not the case. I use vi myself and I eschew background gifs and
such. Web pages that I create are black text on a white back
ground interspersed with images when needed. Period. No CSS no frames, no
nothing. If the content I put up isn't worth reading
then no amount of formatting, font specification, animated
images, and so forth is going to get people to look at it,
is my feeling.
I nearly spit coffee on my keyboard! I agree with you 100%. When we all
did HTML with BBedit and Textpad, people like Black, Tog, and Nielsen
kept everyone designing websites to best serve the content. Now it is
all about the sizzle, but there is rarely a steak.
