Fun with CSS

[David Gibbs <david@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Although this isn't specific to iSeries, I just did a little playing
around with CSS on the archives that I like a lot.

Check out http://archive.midrange.com/linux101/200605/msg00002.html and
look at how the quoted text shows up.

The archiving software is putting a 'class' on the blockquote tag, and I
created the necessary CSS to indent and put the quote background image in.

Due to limitations of the archiving software, existing messages cannot
easily be reformatted ... so only new messages in the archive will have
the new quoting format.  Since new messages in the archive will have the
new class on the blockquote element, older messages won't be effected by
the change.

I suppose I could write a program or sed script to reformat existing
messages ... but that's a task for another day.
