BackgroundColors for Quotes in HTML
I've just learned a new html command useful for weblogs from JAYNE'S ONLINE SANITY SAVER: the "background-color" command. This is nice for putting a shadecolor in the background of indented material. Here's the command, with @-signs replacing the less-than and greater-than signs in the HTML:
@style@ BLOCKQUOTE {background-color: cornsilk} @/style@
The command generates this kind of output when used with @small@ @BLOCKQUOTE@ :
Here is an example of indented material. I'll have to make it long enough to take up more than one line, so I'll type a bit more.
I've not yet figured out how to put a box around the quote, though. The "border" command doesn't seem to work.
