[css-d] diminishing lead-in paragraph

2008-05-18 Thread Ryan Oswald
hello,
I'm trying to create a diminishing lead-in paragraph like this:
http://www.ozworkz.com/temp/leadin.png

I'm not sure how to go about doing this correctly with xhtml/css.
Also, I imagine that browser text size increase/decrease would just  
screw it up.
So is something like this even possible?

Thanks

It is possible to get the diminishing font size part of it quite easily 
(see below).
Providing you can live with not setting a restrictive width for the 
division the text is enclosed in;
and, can live with flush left/scatter right (text-align:left; rather 
than text-align:justify;) the text will scale up /or/ down.
Otherwise, I am afraid you are out of luck...

CSS
body {font: 100% sans-serif;}
p {margin: 0;}
p.c1 {font-size: 130%;}
p.c2 {font-size: 110%;}
p.c3 {font-size: 100%;}
p.c4 {font-size: 95%;}
p.c5 {font-size: 90%;}


HTML
div
p class=c1.../p
p class=c2.../p
p class=c3.../p
p class=c4.../p
p class=c5.../p
/div
