RE: styling text

Thanks, just what I was after.I don't feel as stupid as I thought I would -
using CDATA doesn't seem anything like as obvious as e.g. <defs>. I must
remember to check SVG 1.1 to see if anything's changed.

BTW, Pro XML and Pro XSL (Wrox Press) are two of the most read books on my
shelf - highly recommended ;-)

Cheers,
Danny.

    Hi,
    What I'm trying to do is bound to be dead straightforward, but I can't
for
    the life of me see it in the spec.

    All I want to do is define e.g. h1 as having style="font-size:100", h2
with
    style="font-size:200" then call on these styles later (in the same doc),
    like css. Something like :

    <defs>
       h1  style="font-size:200"
       h2  style="font-size:20"
    </defs>

    ...

    <blah>
    <text style="url(#h1)">Big Headline</text>
    <text style="url(#h2)">Smaller Headline</text>
    </blah>

    defs? It doesn't look like it...
    directly as css tags? maybe...class...hmm...

    It's late at night & I'm off to bed now, but I'd appreciate someone
making
    me feel stupid in the morning.

    Cheers,
    Danny.


  I hope this cheers Danny. :)
