These selectors can be used on their own or in conjunction with element selectors. The leading is then divided in half, and each half-leading is applied to the top and bottom of the content area. Assume for a moment that you decide to ignore the common ordering and alphabetize your link styles instead. Most values are simple length measures e. The result of this rule is shown in Figure 2-6.
Figure 3-2 illustrates the result of the following rules and markup fragment: h1 {font-style: italic; color: gray! If there is no bolder face available, then the user agent sets the weight of b text within an h1 to 800, since that is the next step up from 700 the numeric equivalent of bold. The value of rainbow is red orange yellow green blue indigo violet, and the seven keywords add up to a single, unique value. The following values are approximations, of course. You can leave the markup as it is but change the display roles of the two elements like this: p {display: inline;} em {display: block;} This causes the elements to generate a block box inside an inline box. This particular pseudo-class is easily misunderstood, so an extended example is in order. I am docking one star due to two issues with the Kindle edition of the book: 1 There is no table of contents. In addition, there are some shortened hexadecimal values that do not appear at all.
This makes easily jumping to content of interest difficult, and is requiring that I fill my highlights with section headings. Some warnings could be entire paragraphs, while others could be a single item within a lengthy list or a small section of text. All you have to do is link the single style sheet to all of the documents on your web site. Monospace fonts Monospace fonts are not proportional. You want each warning to appear in boldface text so that it will stand out.
Then again, such people are probably more familiar with thinking in hexadecimal notation, which is our next topic. You can, however, alter the individual values once the system font has been set. If we add figures and animation examples together, there are 826 elements supporting the main text. A pica is equivalent to 12 points, which means there are 6 picas to an inch. Consider this example: import url styles. What good is a font tag to a speech-synthesis browser, for example? Other user agents may reduce space on some lines, thus mashing the text together a bit more than usual.
Thus, the following declarations would be treated as if they were the values indicated in the comments: P. It had nothing even remotely approaching tables, frames, or the complex markup we assume is necessary to create web pages. Given the way colors are created on a monitor, it makes sense that you should have direct access to those colors, determining your own mixture of the three for maximum control. Indentation and Horizontal Alignment 131 Figure 6-5. And there may be more elements deprecated as time goes by. Font download In this approach, the user agent may download a remote font for use in the document. There were personal journals, university sites, corporate sites, and more.
Styles and Variants 115 Furthermore, you may find that in some operating systems, a given font that has been declared as italic may switch from being italic to oblique depending on the actual size of the font. If it finds any, then it repeats Step 2 for that font. From a structural standpoint, these pages are little better than random strings of letters. It would, however, match the following: Help me! All length units can be expressed as either positive or negative numbers followed by a label although some properties will accept only positive numbers. Imagine the effect of the following rule on such a document: ul {font-size: 80%;} Assuming a four-level deep nesting, the most deeply nested unordered list would have a computed font-size value 40. The other two will be ignored completely.
All web browsers running on such systems are screen-medium user agents. For example: ul ol ul em {color: gray;} In this case, as Figure 2-16 shows, any emphasized text that is part of an unordered list that is part of an ordered list that is itself part of an unordered list yes, this is correct will be gray. The ability to group together both selectors and rules keeps style sheets compact and flexible, which incidentally leads to smaller file sizes and faster download times. To the Bread and Soup Crew—Jim, Genevieve, Jim, Gini, Ferrett, Jen, Jenn, and Molly—thanks for all your superb cooking and tasty conversation. The next match attempt is on font-variant.
Relative font sizing at the edges of the absolute sizes User agents are not required to increase or decrease font size beyond the limits of the absolute-size keywords. How much markup will be required for those 12 h2 elements? This is a 'footnote' and is smaller than regular text. The space allows the user agent to distinguish between the two keywords and apply them correctly. The user will never know whether this is done via an external or embedded style sheet, or even with an inline style. For example, p {font-size: 1. The first three values are pretty straightforward, but the fourth and fifth have a few complexities.
This is also true of negative values, which are allowed. Using Generic Font Families You can employ any of these families in a document by using the property font-family. The advantage is that, with these methods, you can specify any color in the color spectrum, not just 17 or 140 named colors. Make your web pages come alive today. Similarly, the font variant terms bold, black, and heavy may or may not mean the same thing. For example, it is a common typographic convention that a block quote should be italicized, but that any specially emphasized text within the quote should be upright.
If an author uses heading elements instead of font elements, though, the speaking browser can use a certain speaking style to read the text. That lets you, the designer, focus on design, rather than grunt work. Since 800 is assigned to the same font face as 700, there is no visible difference between normal h1 text and boldfaced h1 text, but the weights are different nonetheless. The continued feedback and constructive criticism will only help the book get better, as it always has. You know only that it will exist in each document, occur in an arbitrary element, and appear no more than once.
