Not forbidden, but not encouraged instead of the older markup. Adding it now will just mean changing it later, and with multiple language-versions per file, that could get messy. > > However, this requires that the project as a whole conclude > > that the time has come to make the transition, and to figure > > out how.

What we really want to do, methinks, is rip out all of the layout information and let the stylesheets apply it when generating the HTML. However, I don't think we're doing the XML thing for the 1.3 documentation (though I personally think it would be a Good Thing; any volunteers?). Let me see.. Ah, yes, here it is. Check out the page at <URL:http://scarab.tigris.org/source/browse/scarab/www/ui/csi/style/> with and without CSS enabled. The L&F is quite similar so I think we could take a clew from the way it was done to get the most out of CSS without having to bog the source down with the old-fashioned markup as well. Let's definitely start working on a CSS stylesheet that does what we want for the documentation. I'm all in favour. When we've hammered out something with which we're consensually happy, we can retrofit the docco to use it. In the meantime, though, I think having CSS in some files, and not in others, and even different CSS in different files, is just a confusing morass that we'd do well to avoid. :-) -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Golux.Com/coar/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
