About these Pages

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.
