Question for the CSS experts
I've run across a book from PG that uses a lot of the following to format poetry.
Code:
style="margin-left: 65%;" style="margin-left: 33%;" Code:
.marginleft65{ margin-left: 65%; } .marginleft33{ margin-left: 33%; } I began to wonder if there is some way to parameterize a CSS definition so that the actual value can be inserted as needed. e.g. Code:
.marginleft{ margin-left: ??; } ![]() Last edited by Jellby; 06-05-2011 at 07:42 AM. |

Not possible. At least not in CSS2 and without scripting.
By the way, I'd probably want the margins changed to something that wouldn't waste 65% of the limited width of a 5" screen... PG texts are often designed for computer screens. |

I don't use them but it did get me wondering about methods to do something in CSS.
