Thanks everyone...

Yep, I agree that styles belong in a css file, not a text file. That's what I ended up doing. I just hit this weird behaviour while I was trying to figure out how this particular book worked, and it bugged me no end.

And yes, beautifying files can help...along with "\s+" in the right places to allow for variable spaces and lines. Sometimes I'll even do a regex: replace \n with a space character, then replace two space characters with one until the replacements hit zero...that really cleans up a raggety file.


I've hit other odd - very odd - cases where the "select all files" did not seem to work, but this was the first one that seemed to have some consistency to it, enough that I could try and figure it out. Still confused, but at a higher level!
