If I remember correctly, someone was creating PG texts using CSS and XHTML, but I don't remember who it was. I would like to see an example that uses these technologies. The W3.org website has all of the information, but sometimes it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack to find the answer to a specific question.
If someone could provide the name of the poster or an e-book number, that would be very helpful. Thank you.
I've placed online the book "My Antonia" by Willa Cather. It is valid to XHTML 1.1 with three different CSS style sheet options (and a version with no style sheet applied -- only browser defaults used): http://www.openreader.org/myantonia Jose Menendez has an HTML 4.01 version of the same book (and my version essentially relied on his for final proofing to catch the last remaining transcription errors) with an internal CSS style sheet: http://www.ibiblio.org/ebooks/Cather/ (I'm not sure, but Jose may have donated his text version to PG. Our versions differ in that mine is faithful to the original 1918 edition including some text errors found in the original printing -- Jose's is a corrected "reader" edition. But my edition does include markup to flag the text errors and provide what the correct text should be per Jose's corrections, plus a few listed at the UNL Cather site.) ***** Now, my text layout skills are downright pitiful, and anyone wishing to submit alternative CSS style sheets for my version of "My Antonia" is welcome to do so -- the more the merrier (every person submitting CSS will be acknowledged.) I believe the markup has sufficient structural and semantic granularity to do some pretty advanced CSS presentation. Jon Noring
