Quoting

Post #37,350 by tablizer 5/3/02 1:02:41 PM Reply	still not WYSIWYG (* Use blockquote .....substantially easier to read. *) Still not WYSIWYG. Do you really find that significantly harder to read? I personally see no problem with Pascal-style, but everybody's eyes are different. Besides, I got into the habit while trolling slashdot and others with anti-OO rhetoric :-) It might take a while to break the habit. Blockquoting like that is too easy to mistype anyhow. A typo that may "work" in IE may not work in Netscape, for example. That is why I trended toward WYSIWYG ascii. ________________ oop.ismad.com

Pascal style "comments" in discussions are significantly harder to read because they have more visual overhead. But then, you're just determined to be obtuse so I might as well abandon this.

But, everybody's eyes and heads work different. Thus, if you say they are harder to read (for you), then I respect that. However, I am still gonna use Pascy. If you don't like it, then don't read it. ( That's what the Preview thinger is for. *) That does not necessarily detect browser differences for mistyped HTML. ________________ oop.ismad.com
