FAQ Improvement Suggestion

[mart]

In FAQ 12, on setting the font and size of a journal, the instructions could be refined by including one single example as follows:

GLOBAL_HEAD<= <=GLOBAL_HEAD
This works for both Default LiveJournal and Punquin, as well as any other style which doesn't use CSS and therefore might get this overridden. (None of the standard LJ styles use CSS)

Will work on this

I deliberately ommitted the font size so that it wouldn't make headings and such all the same size as the text...

Well, that and setting the font size of "main text" to something other than the "normal" size is generally bad.

Seeing as how half of the requests for this have either beeen for a font face change or a font size change, it would be better if we killed two birds with one stone. It's not our job to nit-pick CSS, but to answer the user's question as thoroughly and to the point as possible.

Well...that's the way I see it, at least.

Well, if the font size change must be included, it should be separately like this..

body, html, td, font, div, p {
font-size: 12pt;
}

This will, through CSS inheritance and specificity rules, allow headings and such to appear larger than the main text as the user would expect. Note that it will, assuming the old instructions were correct, still work in all of the currently available LiveJournal system styles, so separate instructions for punquin are not required.

With the font-size as you added it, all tags will be reduced to the (absolutely teeny) 8 point font, including headings, font tags and other size-altering tags.
