i'm experimenting with stuff here. i want to keep the code for future reference. if i could, i'd make this whole topic hidden somehow. but hey, maybe somebody else wants to try the stuff out too at some time.
otherwise, just ignore it and please dont laugh at me...;)
=================================
this is just regular text. it takes up one paragraph. it is in the "normal" font and is not indented and there is no extra weight or italics or whatever.
[dohtml]
<div class="indented">
this next paragraph is the one to play with. will try span, div, p, all with a class definition in the <head> section of text. and note that those characters won't be translated until i put em inside a dohtml tagset.</div>[/dohtml]
first, let's try the indented class. the way i've defined it, it has left padding and right padding equal at 50 points. cool how those codes dont get translated until the dohtml!
hmm. span just indented the first line. this is no good. and using p without /p made the whole rest of the page indented, even tho the /dohtml was there - hA! let's try div
okay now lets try having the right padding be 200 again....niiiiice.
[dohtml]
<div class="quoted">
i still don't get what blockquote does except indent, and it's apparently possible to "cite" like a QUOTE tag. but here's an attempt at including this second style, just to see what it does. maybe i'm not getting the style tag right. ??</div>[/dohtml]
and some extra text afterwards to make sure whatever was applied doesn't keep going for the whole page.
[dohtml]
<strong>
okay, apparently it doesnt recognize font weight is bold. i wonder if it recognizes 700...cool, no quotes around the weight. wonder if that was the problem with bold? yeah, cool. wonder what happens if i just use the font instead of a style (strong?)</strong>[/dohtml]
so now there's two new paragraph styles -- quoted and indented. i think i'll change quoted to italic instead of bold tho. and set the indented right back to 50, but make the quoted 200.
