Ok, I want to make a screen presentation, and I have 2 minutes for this
So I write in KWrite/KDE (or Wordpad in Windows)
<html><head>
<style type="text/css">
#announce { block-align: center center; width: auto; color: navy; font-size:
48pt; font-name: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif }
img { border: 0}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="announce">Welcome to Conference! <br>
<img src="companylogo.png"></div>
</body>
</html>
and launch it in browser. Voila!
Is it *good enough" example for you?
P.S. And yes, I needed it so many times in my life (but didn't know CSS at
that time) that even can't count. And have seen many, many possible
*solutions* for this SIMPLE TASK, which were just ugly hacks.
