Sweet.
I'll try it out first a.m.

Armed with todays 2 nuggets, should make text control lot's easier.
:)

Hey Dave, I think I found a solution. Did some Googling, and
found that if you add display:inline to your red tag CSS, it should keep it all
on one line. I tested it, and it worked!

Cheers Paul.

Could create a more specific class, but what if I have (as shown) a word midway
through the sentence I want to style?

The standard tags for instance function as expected when
nested inside a selector.

It's only when I nest a self-defined selector inside another I get that line
feed.

It is being styled as expected, but that line feed appears.

:-/

I could also have left it as regular font tags, but I've got 30+ modules to
deal with and I'd much rather have a single point of style control for them
all. :-)

I use underlined
red text which seems to work fine. It’s not CSS,
though. Have you tried creating a combined style:

redBold {color: #ff0000; font-weight: bold;}

I learned something from you … I didn’t realize you
could create your own tags in that way. I was disappointed that the Flash
player didn’t support the tag, as that is an easy way to
apply a style class. Being able to create your own tag accomplishes much the
same thing as defining a class.

Cheers

Thanks Paul.

Another CSS for dummies question.

It seems if I nest selectors, it creates a line feed:

<ss16_text>The number of protons in the nucleus determines the
<red>atomic number</red> and name of an element.
 Since there are over 100 known elements, chemists have
developed a system by which each element is represented by a symbol.
</ss16_text>

Appears as 

The number of protons in the nucleus determines the atomic
number

and name of an element.

If I take out the <red> selector, it acts as expected.

I haven’t tried this myself, but there is an apparent
solution. There is a company that has developed both superscript and a
subscript fonts. Not free, but pretty cheap ($9.90 US for each). You would have
to embed the fonts in Xerte, since the end user wouldn’t normally have
them on their system.

The website is http://superscriptfont.com/

There are examples of how you would use them on their website.

Personally, I’ve only needed to use the trademark and
registered trademark symbols, and I’ve just used a smaller font size and
let it be in-line with the rest of the text.

Don’t get me started on sub / super script.

The Flash Player does not support it and it is a real big
problem when you work for University.

Sorry, pretty weak when it comes to html/css/dhtml

I've tried:

<sup>m</sup> 

<span style="vertical-align: super;">m</span>

and vertical-align: super as a selector in the CSS.

No joy.
