The 'strong' markup inside pre brings another dimension to examples. The whole effect is meaning-encrusted. CMN: Thanks Susan <grin/>. I think the use of code elements is still important - the rest is really a question of presentational markup. Eve L. Maler wrote: > is background-color widely enough supported to be "safe"? SL: It is unsupported in IE 3 on Macs at least. In the case above, body is white, and background renders in stair steps so there may be some use for background-color. (It shouldn't be used for example to reverse colors in table headers. If body was white, background-color was black, and text color was white, the header would be invisible. That might be what Eve is referring to.) CMN: Right. Using a slightly different colour combination means that you can get the best of both worlds - enough contrast (with the bordser and other devices) to make the examples stand out, with enough to know that if only some properties work the whole thing is still legible. cheers Chaals
