Hi,
The current box model working drafts reads in section 6:
[...]
Note: There is no control over the spacing of the dots and dashes, nor
over the length of the dashes. Implementations are encouraged to
choose a spacing that makes the corners symmetrical. Also, it is
recommended that the dots are round, not square.
[...]
The note should also say, there there is no control over the size of the
dots...
The text module doesn't have such a note, but the same problem. I want
control over at least some of those properties. For example I want to
underline a heading with very loose lead dots, e.g.
HEADING
· · · · · · · ·
instead of whatever the user agent decides, e.g. a very tight spacing
HEADING
·····························
Why is there currently no way in CSS to specify size and spacing of
border-style properties?
regards,
