"authenticity" - CSS for newspaper, letter .. extracts
I was reading a novel last night where a newspaper extract appears in the story - quite a common device & was thinking this looks "wrong" - a newspaper would not format its text like this.
..
I think many authors just put all these types of extects into a standard blockquote construction & do not think it though.. e.g.
paper & on line news should be fully justified, handwritten letters should be left justified. paper & on line news use different indents /paragraph spacing rules.
so I wonder what an "authentic" set of CSS rules would look like, for these various sources ?
a button labelled " format this paragraph like a newspaper" is not going to happen as sigil development has ended, but if it did happen - what should it do ?
