The Unopened Workbook

3 September 2003

Due to several scheduling conflicts, the Web Design Workbook is not likely to get updated today. If it does, it will be later this evening.

In the meantime, ponder the XHTML behind this:

”Men stumble over the truth from time to time, but most pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing happened.”

Sir Winston Churchill

Here are my questions…

All of my questions relate to those I asked yesterday. Is the way I inserted the quote above proper, semantic, well-formed, valid and whatever else it is that designers think we should be seeking?

Take a look at the title in this blockquote. Was there some sort of [id] or [div class] tag that should have been used to center, bold and break the three lines of that title or heading? Aren’t these merely additions to or overrides of the CSS that ”governs” this site? In other words, every blockquote may not have a title or heading that is centered. Some, like the quote from Churchill above, will have a closing link or reference.

How do those who know what they’re doing handle this? Perhaps the advice is to avoid using blockquotes at all.
