Test

<zcorpan>
hsivonen: hmm, perhaps a bit too light. something in between. :) also, try making the second and third paragraph non-bold, i think that makes it easier to scan the errors
19:12
<hsivonen>
zcorpan: is the color now better?
19:12
<hsivonen>
zcorpan: I'm not sure what you want made non-bold
19:12
<zcorpan>
hsivonen: yes, the color is good
19:12
<hsivonen>
zcorpan: do you mean second and third para in each li?
19:12
<zcorpan>
At line 1, column 2
19:12
<zcorpan>
<?xml v
19:12
<zcorpan>
yes
19:12
<zcorpan>
including the <b>
19:13
<hsivonen>
zcorpan: hmm. the location para is already non-bold
19:13
<hsivonen>
zcorpan: do you want the highlighted tag to be non-bold?
19:13
<zcorpan>
oh?
19:14
<hsivonen>
zcorpan: is your CSS2 UI font something that always looks bold?
19:14
<zcorpan>
yeah, could be
19:14
<hsivonen>
the whole page is font: caption;
19:15
<zcorpan>
perhaps explicitly say that the first paragraph should be bold and the others font-weight:normal?
19:15
<hsivonen>
zcorpan: hmm. I think I'd rather conclude that CSS2 UI fonts were a nice idea but the implementation sucks
19:15
<hsivonen>
and do font: sans-serif instead
19:16
<hsivonen>
zcorpan: which platform/browser are you using?
19:16
<zcorpan>
opera, win xp (classic theme)
19:18
<hsivonen>
I guess I should do research about OS X, XP and Ubuntu and figure out named fonts myself considering that CSS2 UI fonts aren't good enough :-(
19:19
<zcorpan>
isn't sans-serif good, then?
19:21
<hsivonen>
not as good as what I get on OS X with font: caption now
19:21
<hsivonen>

19:21
<hsivonen>
that's what I see
19:24
<zcorpan>
http://simon.html5.org/temp/validator-nu.png
19:24
<hsivonen>
eww.
19:24
<hsivonen>
that need fixing
19:25
<hsivonen>
zcorpan: thanks
19:25
<zcorpan>
np :)
19:27
<hsivonen>
now the form is still caption but the rest is sans-serif
19:29
<zcorpan>
http://simon.html5.org/temp/validator-nu-2.png
19:30
<hsivonen>
looks better to me except now there's a size disparity
19:31
<hsivonen>
I don't know how to manage the font-size property on body relative to the CSS2 UI font on form
19:32
<hsivonen>
hmm.
19:33
<hsivonen>
ok. found a fix that works in Firefox trunk and Kestrel but not in Firefox 2
19:36
<zcorpan>
hsivonen: i think it looks better with non-bold for the highlighted part, though that might just be because of my choice of monospace font :)
19:36
<hsivonen>
I like the bold with the highlight
19:37
<zcorpan>
ok
19:37
<hsivonen>
with my fonts, that is :-)
19:38
<zcorpan>
now everything's bold for me again, fwiw
19:38
<hsivonen>
hmm. has there been a CSS2.1 decision or something? Safari trunk agrees with Kestrel and Firefox 3. but Safari 2 agrees with Firefox 2
19:38
<hsivonen>
on size inheritance
19:39
<hsivonen>
zcorpan: do you know why that happens?
19:39
<zcorpan>
when using ui fonts?
19:39
<hsivonen>
but shouldn't font-family on body cancel the UI font from html?
19:40
<zcorpan>
not sure how that's defined
19:40
<zcorpan>
ui fonts might imply font-size and weight etc
19:40
<zcorpan>
and setting font-family probably doesn't undo it
19:42
<hsivonen>
hmm. too hard
20:12
<kingryan>
has anyone but me looked at markp's validator implemenation in html5lib?
21:43
<hsivonen>
CSS question: what's the preferred way of making sure inline elements with no content are as tall as inline elements containing an NO-BREAK SPACE?
21:44
<Hixie>
only use standards-compliant UAs
21:45
<Hixie>
and it should Just Happen
21:45
<hsivonen>
Hixie: looks like Firefox trunk isn't compliant enough
21:45
<Hixie>
i don't think any browsers are
21:45
<Hixie>
oh there's an exception; the block has to have content
21:46
<Hixie>
<p><span></span></p> is still allowed to be zero-height
21:46
<hsivonen>
WebKit trunk is!
21:46
<hsivonen>
Hixie: I want <li><code></code></li> to look like an empty line
21:48
<hsivonen>
given the current state of Gecko, are there practical workarounds on the CSS level?
21:49
<Hixie>
ah there you are screwed
21:49
<Hixie>
you can use min-height on hte li
21:49
<Hixie>
or include a zwnbsp
21:49
<hsivonen>
tried it already. no good
21:49
<Hixie>
min-height should work
21:49
<hsivonen>
should, but doesn't :-(
21:50
<hsivonen>
the list markers are still off
21:50
<Hixie>
ah yes the list markers will only work if you have actual content in there
21:50
<tantek>
is that because they have nothing to align their baseline to?
21:50
<Hixie>
since they line up with the first line box
21:51
<tantek>
yes, you need at least a text character of some sort in there to trigger font metrics resolution, the establishment of a baseline, and thus something that the list marker can be placed relative to
21:52
<hsivonen>
good old &nbsp; it is, I guess
21:53
<hsivonen>
I hope people don't copy and paste
21:53
<hsivonen>
hmm. I wonder if space with white-space: pre-wrap works...
21:53
<tantek>
there may be something in CSS3-Text that allows you to set an explicit baseline on a block. That plus an explicit line-height should theoretically do the trick. But not sure if there are any browsers that support that.
21:55
<hsivonen>
tantek: ok. perhaps in the future
21:57
<hsivonen>
space plus pre-wrap not enough...
21:59
<hsivonen>
nbsp works
21:59
<hsivonen>
thanks
