Yeah, it was text that I would apply the class to. I've since realized that
there will at least have to be several different classes depending on where
it is i.e. styling the titles will be different than styling buttons or in
a tiddler, etc. since the backgrounds and such will need to be in different
dom locations.
I want to gild titles, the editor buttons (of all the varieties), drop
caps, bits and bobs on sidebars, and on demand for specific words or icons
in the tiddler on demand, so to speak.
I'm also planning to use the same technique for a different theme, based on
a Tlingit soulcatcher, which is usually a carved and styled bone with
inlays of mother of pearl (hence the paua.jpg).
