I concur, but keep in mind that the art and craft of typesetting goes back for __centuries__ so a couple of decades is not much of a sample. If you read through Mark's series of articles, he notes that before computers came along, this was "correct" typesetting practice. But, we don't see this anymore because one application completely changed this practice: QuarkXPress. Quark never got this "right" and so after twenty years of desktop publishing, the norm is to not hang quotation marks of bullets. > IMO, CSS does it correctly. But to get this back on-topic... this is the beauty of CSS: you can place your quotation marks, bullets, and just about anything anywhere you choose. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
