Anyway, I haven't touched '!!!!!!! BUT STAY TUNED !!!!!!!!' although there are better ways to bring the reader's attention to something, for instance, by better structuring.
The problem here is that ASCII structuring techniques are mixed with HTML structure throughout the docs. In plain text docs it is ok to use some kind of email/IRC style with ALL CAPS, _underlined_ and such for stuff that is *really* IMPORTANT!!! HTML does offer markup like <i> and <b> or even better <em> and <strong> for this and in the HTML documentation these should be the preferred method of putting emphasis on certain aspects.
I agree. <em> and <strong> would do just fine. Very important notes could be displayed in separate blocks with large margins (similar to the way DocBook formats notes/warnings/tips). But it would be an impossible search & replace mission. :-)
Who knows, once we have XML, maybe we can make a stylesheet that translates into plaintext with these types of emphasis..
Hm, yes, if somebody is a master at stylesheets... I'm not. :( -- Andras Mohari mayday@mail.nagyatad.hu
