Hi. I previously suggested... >> <MORE> Indicates means for getting further information on the topic >> discussed. Neil answered: >I think that is a valid addition. Well thank you. Rob answered: >Confusing. It implies a link going somewhere. True, although I was thinking about any "further information" style thing, eg "For More Information Read The Book" and "For Details Call Us On (0123) 456 789", etc. Not forcibly a URL link. >Better to use CSS for change the appearence of >(a special class of) the <A> element. No... The point is we would like one for non-anchors, and also to be able to do something like <P>It was very exciting and we all loved it. <MORE>See Also: <A HREF="xxx.html">Another Page</A>, <A HREF="yyy.html">Yet Another Page</MORE></P> I have really needed this recently. I ended up using <P><EM CLASS=MORE>See Also</EM> <A>...</A></P> If all we wanted was a special class of an element, <EM> would do fine. I also suggested: >> <COMMENT> Indicates text which comments on adjacent paragraphs. Neil answered: >I think this is also a valid addition, but it may be odd to recover a >deprecated tag with a different meaning now... True. Maybe <REMARK> or something would be better in that respect. but Rob answered: >Another bad idea. :-) >A page can be full of comments. Also, users my confuse >that with <!-- --> which can lead to problems. Something like <NOTE> or ><WARNING> was in the HTML 3.0 draft once. They would be great! Anyone know why they were removed? BTW - going with what someone was saying about the use of <I></I> to indicate a special term, why not have a <TERM> element. It could act as <DFN>'s companion, so that search engines can look for definitions of a term (DFN) and uses of a term (TERM). Hmm... I like brainstorming new elements... ! -- Ian Hickson -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GIT/M/S d- s+: a--- C++(+++)>$ U P L+ !E W++ N++ o?
