Re: [css-d] Presentation vs content issue for interlinear text
Have you thought of using a definition list? dl dtOriginal text/dt ddTranslated text/dd dtOriginal text/dt ddTranslated text/dd /dl You can use css to style the dl dt and dd elements.

[css-d] Presentation vs content issue for interlinear text
I'm working on a project to display interlinear text (original language with a very literal word-by-word translation immediately below). The only presentation which my poor imagination can conceive is to place each word in a separate cell with the translating word in a separate cell immediately below (centring the text in every cell to maintain alignment). But this would make searching for phrases (in either language) impossible. Can anyone here with a more creative mind think of another means of presentation? -- T. R.
