Ah, the mighty paragraph, the foundation of most html entry elements. I better keep writing here so that it wraps. laks lak dalkdla owk, clk co e, ola .a. alds aoie alk a. aoldi vo wolk a. applek ..s palkeimvow lw ock eol.
Here's another paragraph, and speeking of paragraphs… I think they should only be so wide. We only want so many words across, right? So we'll define in EMs. How many? Not sure. It will vary from font to font, we'll just have to play and see.
The most important thing is that it is readable. We make the restriction in the paragraph element because others should be able to be as wide as they want (images, tables, etc.).
A short paragraph.
Now how about some anchors? Yeah, we need to see what that looks like, both new and old. We also need to see a larger group of words just in case folks want to be descriptive.
Hey, look at that! Even if underlining (such as this) is used, the link doesn't stomp on it.
Let's check the color handeling. If I change the color of a letter in a link, or change the color around a link, what do you see?
This list is full of paragraphs. This here is a paragraph.
And here is another.
Yup, this list is definately full of paragraphs. And this is going to be a long one. Know why? You guessed it, we want to see what happens when the content has to wrap!
Column A | B | And Column C |
---|---|---|
This is in a tbody, in a tr, in a td. |
Column Three | |
A | B | C |
Images are inline elements by default, and so should be treated as such. Sometimes people want to integrate them within sentances, so the shouldn't be decorated in that case (like this: ). I think this should be the exception, but I think it's standard, so we'll leave it.
Then there are images that are meant to stand on their own, like a photograph. These I think should be framed, so those need a CSS class, what should it be, "frame"?
They're still inline by default so they can be packed together. Notice too the units are in em, not px, because images should scale too, and the weight of the frame appropriate for the display dpi.
Okay, this is one where I dont't think it's safe to override inline image convension. And maybe we want to frame other things like in a span(?), so we'll keep ".frame" real generic.
And really, there are so many things to be done with framed images… I think we'll just frame them and leave the margins to something else.
And now to play with inline-block
s.
So there.
