It would work technically well (:first-line has been in CSS since CSS 1.0 and is widely supported), but introducing an extra line break would be an odd way to deal with bolding. Moreover, in that approach, the colon ":" after the word would get styled too, and the question was about styling the first word only. Besides, if you can and wish to add extra markup, you might just as well introduce <b> or <strong> (or some other inline element, to be styled), and then you would not need to create an extra line break. No pure CSS solution (i.e. an approach that does not require any added markup to separate the first line from the rest of the content) is possible. If you can affect the JavaScript code for the page, then you could probably write a relatively simple piece of JavaScript that traverses the document, modifies the structure by adding elements for the first words, and assigns style properties to them as desired. -- Yucca, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
