Hi Alan, I just found you that the style attribute is depreciated in xhtml 1.1. Does this mean that it will eventually be obolete? It depends on what you mean by obolete. Deprecated means that it's part of the spec but the construct is outdated and its use is strongly discouraged. The next

Hi Alan, Both span class=red and span style=color:#f00 are bad. How about BBtags this: [important] [highlight] [note] [misc] then you use this markup: em class=important em class=hightlight .. Regards, -Vlad http://xstandard.com Alan Trick wrote: I'm implementing some BBtag-like things

In answer to your question, Sigurd - the asterisk indicates that that attribute is required for that elements (as opposed to optional). For example, if you use the img you MUST include a SRC and an ALT attribute for it to be valid. Cheers :o) Richard - Original Message - From: Sigurd
