Hi all, I use and love LaTeX because it allows me to `semantically' mark up a document and let the computer worry about making it look good. I just tell it I want a section with the following heading, and LaTeX produces the right amount of spacing and the right font weight and size for the heading and so on, to make the output look good. I'd like to use something similar for XSL. While HTML has very limited structuring capabilities, at least I can say I want a subsection heading (<H2>) and let the browser (and with CSS, the user) worry about making it look good. But from my limited experience with the xslj/jade combination, it seems that I can't just tell it I want to have a section heading. Instead, I must tell it that it should be left-justified, the font style, the font size, the font weight, and the spacing. I don't want to do that -- users should be able to configure their browser how they like, not have to accept my specifications. So, how do I produce `good-looking' (HTML) output without having to specify all spacings and font-weights and the like? tia, kai -- You ate somebody? -- Just a leg. -- That's terrible! -- Not with mustard.
