( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Petruchio's recent node on using CSS at the monestary got my curiosity piqued, so I tried giving perlmonks a markup makeover:

While I didn't stick *quite* to the current perlmonks style, the important part is under the hood. Do a view source on each page, or simply direct your browser to http://www.geocities.com/howars.geo/perlmonks/ to grab things (including the css file) right out of the directory.

I tested in IE5, IE6, Mozilla 0.9.7, lynx all with good results. I didn't get around to quite everthing, such as how <code> tags are currently rendered, but the majority of site markup is done (I think).

When you open the source you'll notice that just about everything is named, either by class or by id. This should make it much easier to refer to style the different conceptual containers on the page (as belg4mit brought up in the thread under Petruchio's node). I also ordered the page elements in the source code as I thought would make sense to someone using a text/voice browser as opposed to a visual one.

I've only done three pages, but I'd be quite willing to work with the pmdev team to get the site's markup up-to-date.

feedback craved :)


In reply to PerlMonks XHTML+CSS: an implementation by AidanLee

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
