xml block text formating

Sunday 05 February 2006 4:48:17 pm

I spend a lot of time explaining the theory of the "separate of design and content" and the benefits of structural markup rather than design-based markup to my clients.

I feel your pain, but the best thing to do is convince them that it is better in the long run if they use the structure to define the important bits of content (emphasis, lists, headings, etc).

In the instances where this solution does not suffice, I create custom tags for clients that need special formatting.

Your solution if using h5/h6 is ok, but if is a bit counterintuitive from a structural markup standpoint. If those items are not really headers, this might cause problems with resuing content in the future.

Custom tags are the best solution for this.

Not sure where the docs are, but I know you have to add some lines in content.ini and add a template, as well as a stylesheet to do the red/center.
