ezxml and css

Thursday 25 September 2003 4:18:15 am

Using 3.2 and i want to add class tags to text in my xml field. My old 3.1 documentation states this can be done but i know find that it cant be done. Looking at the ezxmltag files verifies this for 3.2 and looking back at 3.1 i see it never has.

I remember adding to this thread a while back about the same issue but i now see i was wrong:

Is there going to be support for css in xml fields *outside* of custom tags.... I cant hardcode fields in for my site...

It is a little misleading. Since the doco mentions that the class is let through to the template as {$classification} maybe the tag should be called 'classification' instead of 'class'.

I've opted for the custom tag approach. All i needed was a way of applying some css to a paragraph. None of the current tags supported by ezxml tackle this.

Was there a reason to exclude the <p> tag from ezxml?

I know paragraphs are there by default but i can't use another tag as it carries some form of formatting with it (<strong><em> etc). I could use <table> but it is overkill just to wrap some text up and would confuse users building with it.

Ahem, yes a span or div would be better than p. p implies more formatting than the other two :)
