Quoting Jim White:
I think you missed Michel's point. The examples he gave of "proper use" are
those formatting features that will make re-formatting easier. If we
encourage such "proper use" through the design of the UI, as well as through
education, many will be happier with the product.
-JimW
I was trying to say that one person's idea of proper use is another's idea of
mis-use. Consider the following:
1.- Introduction:
This chapter, is the introduction- the initial explanation -, of the subject
blah blah blah etc etc...
This is considered perfectly proper here in Spain. I think it's awful, but that's what local custom requires. It breaks
any number of the punctuation rules I was taught as a youngster in the UK but is absolutely valid here. I'm not sure how
these wide cultural differences can -- or even should -- be catered for in a UI.
