( code and breakdown behind the cut )So yesterday I wrote some code out because I despise the font tag, and today comes a more in-depth look at font properties in CSS.
( Cut for length and formatting )One of the main differences between LJ and DW and how they let you code is that DW allows inline CSS in comments. This is a wonderful thing that can make your comment formatting much more elegant, because you can handle all of your formatting with a single string of code instead of using a string of <font><b><i>!
