The following text was discovered Thursday 22 August 2002 in a note attributed to one "Mark Gallagher <mark@cyberfuddle.com>": > <title> and <h> need not contain the same data. What if the author > wants to place different information in each? Then you put the <title> back in <head> and use an <h> like normal, I presume. > I like the idea of displaying some metadata, though. What if it were > possible to "call" the contents of meta tags and link tags as desired, > so you could have: > > <meta name="description" content="a foo with a bar and so on." /> > > Then somewhere in the body: > > <p> > <use type="meta" src="description" /> > </p> > > But that probably goes a bit beyond the scope of HTML. I always wanted to use CSS for this, myself. Say: title { display: block; /* insert other header-like stuff here */ } meta[name="author"]:after { display: block; float: right; content: "Author: " attr(author) "."; } or the like. It would have at least made implementing the design on my personal site a heck of a lot easier. ;D -- Joanne Hunter <http://menagerie.tf/~jrhunter/> Say No to HTML Mail!/"\ Of course, I don't know how interesting any of this really is, \ / but now you've got it in your brain cells so you're stuck with it.
