I think this is a very important point to remember. For example, something that often happens to me (and I have pretty normal vision...) with PDFs is that I "zoom in" to get the text larger on the screen, but then, a full page (a concept which is central to PDF but luckily not to HTML) doesn't fit on the screen, and then I need to start scrolling horizontally and vertically to see the full page. It's so much easier for me to view a long HTML page... The problem is that PDF is great for making exact copies of what the author intended (e.g., print an article exactly like the one the author printed on his printer). HTML is great for showing content in the way the *viewer* intended (allowing him or her to change the font size, the window size, and so on). -- Nadav Har'El | Sunday, Mar 26 2006, 26 Adar 5766 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy http://nadav.harel.org.il |every minute of it. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
