Hi Hakon. As you present them they are better termed as document objects rather than formatting objects. I prefer the term formatting objects, as I'm not assuming as a designer that the only thing I'll be styling is documents, in fact I know I'll be stylling far more than documents, and in terms of design challenges document styling probably represents the easiest of my challenges. Of course my prefered term is presentation objects, as personally don't want to even assume print formatting. As a side question, what's Opera Softwares plans if you don't mind me asking, for it's rendering engine? Do you forsee a future for Opera post HTML? Cheers Guy. xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx on 04/28/99 07:54:14 AM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx cc: (bcc: Guy Murphy/UK/MAID) Subject: Re: Formatting Objects considered harmful This concept seems very close to Paul's HTML-level formatting objects. I'd suggest the use of semantic HTML elements (e.g. EM and STRONG) and the STYLE attribute in the output, but at least these formatting objects can be media-independent and this addresses my concern about accessibility. (Perhaps they're better described as "document objects" rather than "formatting objects"?) -h&kon H?kon Wium Lie http://www.operasoftware.com/people/howcome howcome@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx simply a better browser XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
