On Fri, Sep 5, Mikko Rantalainen inscribed on the eternal scroll:
<div class="red f10pt bolder underlined">
(with suitable style sheet)
vs.
<div style="color: red; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bolder;
text-decoration: underline;">
Both are bad,
Exactly.
but I feel that the style attribute is worse.
I'm not sure that I care. Somewhere there has to be a threshold,
below which there's no longer any point in discussing the difference
beween bad and bad.
And that's before we even start to talk about the inadvisability of
specifying pt sizes for a screen display (assuming this isn't a
print-only stylesheet - but then, what use is "red" going to be on a
monochrome printer?).
all the best
