General Information
-
All these pages were made by David Weinehall, in
vim.
-
All pages should be valid
XHTML
v1.1; the layout is provided by
CSS.
-
The source-code for all pages is written in XML, and transformed into XHTML with the help
of xsltproc.
-
These pages looks butt-ugly with Netscape 4.x; get a newer version.
-
People who use browsers that support alternate style sheets
might be interested to know that such are available.
-
These pages are totally
GIF-free.
-
The pages have separators in form of comments to denote the content.
The separators used are:
-
Content
-
<!-- Begin: Content -->
<!-- End: Content -->
-
Navigation between sections
-
<!-- Begin: Global Navigation-bar -->
<!-- End: Global Navigation-bar -->
-
Navigation in the subsections
-
<!-- Begin: Local Navigation-bar -->
<!-- End: Local Navigation-bar -->
Known bugs and possible problems
-
Some of the entities used on these pages may not be supported by all
browsers.
-
Netscape 4.x stops rendering when encountering
<blockquote> content if support for style sheets is
enabled. Netscape 4.x also renders tables in an extremely stupid way.
Oh, and a lot of CSS rendering is completely broken. And it doesn't
support short-forms of a lot of tags. If you want to surf
these pages using Netscape 4.x, turn off CSS-support completely, or
better, use Mozilla instead.
-
Opera 5 misbehaves grossly when it comes to rendering the
hover and active styles for the
<a> element. Rendering-problems with regard to widths of
tables containing the <pre>-attribute also seems buggy.
-
The Macintosh-version of Netscape 4.x has a problem with a combination
of tables, pre-formatted text and the
border -attribute.
This has been worked around, but it doesn't look all that good... The
border -attribute in general seems to cause quite some
headache with Netscape v4.x, so beware.
-
iCab (preview 2.6) seems to have issues rendering tables inside tables
in a correct manner, and to be consistent about the margins around text
with a different background-colour than the rest of the page. Hence, the
page looks far from perfect in iCab.
-
OmniWeb seems to ignore the
width -style for
<th> and <td>-tags, which makes tables look
very ugly. This is sad, because OmniWeb is a really
wonderful browser in most other aspects.
-
These pages are totally GIF-free; all images are either
PNG or
JPEG.
If no images show up, your browser likely doesn't support
PNG-images.
