bigbigLarger text/big/big
?
p style='font-size: 150%;'Larger text/p
or actually using a class in the CSS file ...
.largetext { font-size: 150%; }
p class='largetext'Larger text/p
.. is much more in keeping with the current millenium.
This style of formatting is all detailed in the various tutorials which
John seems to miss reading.

Creating a CSS File
Was trying to edit an article last night that I wrote in 2006 and no question about it I was blind as a bat! The source code on this one sucked! I had then created the article in MS Word / Claris Home Page (the tools available to me at that time) and this gave reason to horrid HTML. I cleaned up the article a little by copy and pasting into Text Edit (no formatting) and re-did allot of it. [B]The end result is MUCH better than it was. No its not perfect but its certainly far better! [/B] I used Sea Monkey which also may be a mistake as its a old editor so I am starting to use Kompozer or Blue Griffon. I would use BlueGriffon but I am not sure how to make the text larger. Does anyone know of a way? Otherwise the choice is Kompozer. So I guess I need to study HTML more (something I have not done) as I have been reading all kinds of theology. What I want to do is I want to create a CSS file for my HTML documents (already have one for my main index.htm page) and I want the docs to follow that. Is there a way?

We've already pointed out a good tutorial, and hopefully you have bookmarked it. http://htmldog.com/ What I want to do is I want to create a CSS file for my HTML documents (already have one for my main index.htm page) and I want the docs to follow that. Is there a way? Point to the file using the exact same meta line as you did in the first page. Most authors use just one CSS file to style their entire site (for sites such as yours). -- -bts -This space for rent, but the price is high ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

If you have more than one page on your site, and they all use the same look, an external CSS file is the way to go. When you want to update the look of your site, you just edit something in the CSS file instead of having to edit many files. And the HTML files themselves are a lot cleaner. It's a beautiful thing. :) To learn it, I used the book _Eric Meyer on CSS_ . He's written more books since then, which are worth checking out. http://meyerweb.com/eric/writing.html From that point, you can use a free app like HTML-Kit to really clean up all your files. http://www.htmlkit.com/ NOTE: I've set replies to this post to go to mozilla.general, because discussion is not SeaMonkey support. -- Chris Ilias http://ilias.ca Newsgroup moderator ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

It may be useful to get the 'User's Manual'($): http://www.bluegriffon.com/index.php?pages/User-s-Manual I found ( tested) the following at: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/bluegriffon 1. Select element 2. Open Style Properties Panel 3. Go to General tab, in the Size panel, type in the size you need eg 10.5pt (the drop down list doesn't appear to be that useful) If you're making this change for this element only, the program will ask for a unique ID for the element (type in ID#) Please note that you can also attach the styles to a class or even to the inline styles carried by the element. I didn't bother to get Kompozer, but I would have thought that the method is basically the same. -- Gus ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
