Hi all, Out of curiosity, I took a uncustomized MHonArc generated message page and replaced all the MHonArc markup with HTML <div> tags. For example, turning <!--X-Body-of-Message--> into <div id=X-Body-of-Message>
It was a fairly clean process. There were a couple of small inconsistances here and there, but nothing that couldn't be ironed out by hand in a couple of minutes. At the end of the day, I had all of the sections of the message page demarkated clearly. The next step was to adapt a stylesheet from the (amazing) csszengarden website, and key it off those div tags. It worked quite well and I was able to produce some very aesthetic message pages purely from manipulating CSS. I'm not posting a link because the graphic designers at csszengarden don't really like their artwork being republished. But the result was graphically appealing, and the stylesheet allows for some cosmetic flexibility without going through the rigors of HTML page regeneration. So... I am looking for comments before I dive further with this approach. Does the idea seem generally sound? Is this the general trend and might MHonArc someday in the distant future abandon the HTML comment based semantic markup of message pages, switching to something style sheets can also key off off? Are people already doing exactly this thing on their archives? Am I doing something particularly stupid or naive with respect to this experiment? Cheers, Jeff ============= Inconsistancies: lack of <!--X-Body-End-->, some markup not using the <--*-Begin--> convention, etc. Almost certainly this are just small legacy foibles.
