This example is shown: h1 { display: none; string-set: header content(); } The motivation for allowing this is to encourage content to be placed in the document rather than the style sheet. For example, to set a running header, it's better to use: <title>foo</title> title { string-set: title content() } @page :right { @top-right { content: string(title) }} than to say @page :right { @top-right { content: "foo" }} because the style sheet is more reusable this way. I believe the <title> element was the main argument for defining it this way -- it should be possible to pick up the content of the title element even if head { display: none } is set (as the default style sheet for HTML4 does). > Authors who want to set a named string while hiding the corresponding > element can hide the heading in other ways than using display:none > (and the hidden heading can be made out of flow if margins are an issue). How would you code the <title> use case? -h&kon Håkon Wium Lie CTO °þe®ª howcome@opera.com http://people.opera.com/howcome
