Good day to everybody 1. This is my very first e-mail to w3 mailing list. Please don't hesitate to tell me if I done something wrong. 2. Here are some suggestions for CSS ========================== a. I dont know if it apply to browsers or to spec, but double-italic (such as, a book's title in a quote) is not supported in neither Mozilla, Opera or Safari (latest Mac version of all) I wrote a page about that <http://www.empyree.org/informatique/test-en.html#double-italic> ========================== b. a possibility to use any character as a bullet, for unordered list (it is already possible for pictures) list-style-type:<character> Most custom-bullet are pictures of characters already available as a part of Unicode. I'm thinking of *check marks*. Here's an example: <http://www.empyree.org/informatique/test-en.html#list-style-type- character> ========================== c. relative colors It is not possible by now. This site <http://www.espezon.org/> did a great job at simulating "color familes" (darker, lighter). It helps keeping consistencies. • make it easy to have "location-based" link (anchor, in-site, out-site) *and* "situation-based" link (not visited, visited), without being cumbersome or unergonmic. • Makes it easy to propose alternate stylesheet. Changing from green theme to yellow theme only requires to change *one value* • Proposal : <bace color> (à la base href) ========================== d. base mesure • Reduce code : margin:1.5em 1.5em 1.5em 1em => margin:1.5 1.5 1.5 1 • Still possible to add "non-base" value, even in the same style: margin:1.5 1.5 1.5 1px • Proposal : <bace mesure> (à la base href) ========================== e. 2-bit color: support for color:#0, #1, #2, ... #e #f. Even less code (yes may be a gadget but it cost nothing and is clean. -- David
