To me it seems odds that the styles markup is applied to 'div' as well
as to 'color'
'font' 'p' 'span' and 'box' And that you made <box> into the special hardcoded
case it is. So that one markup covers a lot of different cases.
I suppose <box> feels intuitive enough for you: a div of class 'box'.
Following that logic <clip> would be a div of class 'clip'.
<red> a div of class red. This works if class .red is set as {color:red;},
but it does not mean intuitively the same as <span style="color:red">
I mean we need to distinguish here a bit to what a style is applied.
A general div markup would always apply to a div block.
On the other hand a general span markup would apply to span tags.
I think it would be equally useful to have a short version for
<span class="myclass">....</span> (a bit like PmWiki's %
somestyle%....%% markup, but it can be a lot less sophisticated).
So to keep a distinction between block and inline styling.
One extra thing to consider: It is possible and very useful to name
not just one
class, but several in a tag. Justmake sure al the names are put into the
class="..." and not lost because of spaces. I noticed BW fails on this.
Can't tell right now if it always fails delivering multiple class
names, or just in
some circumstances.
