Cheryl, You are absolutely correct with the first approach. The client (browser) must be equipped with fonts, colors, etc. to represent an original HTML page. So, in effect there is no good answer if you are using old, outdated technology. Now, with the server side processing and help of XML/XSLT/CSS and usage of appropriate engines it could be done flawlessly. Regards, Peter.
