I've played around a bit with creating a Rev stack that would read formatted text in Rev apps and create appropriate CSS style sheets to describe the content but given that the support in htmlText is so weak in terms of the totality of HTML and the fact that the content would have to be modified to refer to the style sheet in any case, I haven't seen any real value there beyond the academic satisfaction.

Well I do a lot of web work too, and I assure you that CSS is the future and the way large and consistent sites can be reasonably done. What's frustrating is that if a page is constructed in CSS that it is not easily possible to see what the commands do as you don't see the results until it's rendered in a browser or two...
Using tables is discouraged today - you can do it better and in a more modular way with CSS. And CSS allows absolute pixel dimensions for better cross platform display. HTML was not designed to be a design protocol, but a way to organize and link information online, in outline form. The font and many other HTML tags are limited and vary depending on platform and browser and shouldn't be used in todays html code. CSS is standard, and is essential for database-driven sites.
I had to learn to love it, but I think it's great. And it WOULD be nice to have style sheets in REV if we're going to have html.....

X What, no Replace in your text editor? Again, I'm mainly annoyed with the way that people use CSS, and the fact that people seem to use it for EVERYTHING, not just large documents, which makes small ones much more difficult to read.
It's MIKEY, DAMMIT!
