Once upon a time Steven Champeon shaped the electrons to say... >Why would anyone in their right mind *want* to type <STRONG> when >they can type <B>? I'm restricting my question to the obvious fact Because I type fast enough that I don't care. And because I'm not so friggin lazy that I can't type 5 more letters. Ok, so maybe I'm being harsh -but come on! If it is so bad type <B> and then before you send it out use the editor to search and replace. >How about some new but shorter elements? > <STRONG> -> <S> <S> was already used - strikethrough is both <STRIKE> and <S> > <EM> -> <E> Is this really worth it? IMHO, NO. >presentational markup shorter and easier to type, it guaranteed that >the other markup would not be used but as an exception. I use nothing BUT <STRONG> and <EM>. I've even setup weblint to flag <B> and <I> as errors. -MZ -- Livingston Enterprises - Chair, Department of Interstitial Affairs Phone: 800-458-9966 510-737-2100 FAX: 510-737-2110 megazone@livingston.com For support requests: support@livingston.com <http://www.livingston.com/> Snail mail: 4464 Willow Road, Pleasanton, CA 94588
