PS. I'm also trying to solve the flattening of DOM nodes that occurs when one calls innerHTML on a node that contains other nodes. This happens when I apply dropcap treatments to the first paragraph and it does not look nice. I haven't dug into that yet - but ideas are welcome: http://legibilis.heroku.com/start-here (the link element gets flattened to a text string, it just annoys the hell out of me) / James On Wed, Aug 17, 2011 at 3:09 PM, James Abbott <abbottjam@gmail.com> wrote: > Does legibilis require something that it doesn't support, or did you have >> trouble with it? >> > > Nope, I just thought I'd do it the caveman way, by copying the files.

Nice work! One thing though: if you state that it has a focus on readability, "text-align: justify" might be not the best choice for default styling.

Fair enough. Personally I don't notice a significant reduction in readability when I change to text-align: left. It's open source though, so it can be overridden if you wish :-) / James On Wed, Aug 17, 2011 at 2:52 PM, Misha Reyzlin <mrejzlin@gmail.com> wrote: > Nice work! > > One thing though: if you state that it has a focus on readability, > "text-align: justify" might be not the best choice for default styling. > > > > On Wed, Aug 17, 2011 at 3:48 PM, James Abbott <abbottjam@gmail.com> wrote: > >> ...it's alive, it's alive! >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuoKNZjr8_U >> >> Demo site: >> http://legibilis.heroku.com/ >> >> GitHub repo: >> https://github.com/abbottjam/nesta-theme-legibilis >> >> How to install: >> http://jamesabbottdd.com/legibilis >> >> / James >> >> >> >
