Lauke > Yes, Patrick you're correct. There seems to have been some confusion in what I meant. I am suggesting that we need a way to semantically describe multiple levels of emphasis in (x)html. It will then be up to the browsers to represent those levels. I'm also suggesting that we need a way to markup de-emphasis. Let me explain what I meant when I said we have to rely on css for more than 2 levels of emphasis. Take this code: <p>I am <em class="level1>emphasizing</em> random <strong class="level2">words</em> to illustrate a <strong class="level3">point</em>. Whithout CSS <strong class="level2"> and <strong class="level3"> are treated equally. If I want one emphasized more than the other I must use CSS to indicate this. Then if the CSS is ignored they are no longer emphesized differently. I really believe this needs to be explicit in the markup. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
