Paolo's new myNote macro It looks as if I am not the only one experimenting with HTML tables today. Paolo's myNote macro is very effective to add highlighted annotation to HTML rendered text. How cool is this ? This is just a small note, for demo purposes, but I'm sure I'll put it to more good use in the near future. I have inserted <% myNote ( "How cool is this ?", "yellow", "right" ) %> in this message. Paolo, If you plan on expanding the macro's code, you'll find it easier from this text version. 2:50:33 PM    comments:   Google It!

More Rendering Optimization After a lot of fancy CSS experiments, I've finally adopted the tried and true method of using tables to prevent the outline text to wrap around the node's wedge if the outline node's contents is longer than a single line in the page. I hope Joe Jennett and the no-tables hardliners won't get too upset :-). The result is clearer and easier to read. My next step is to render nodes in a collapsed state from the start, eventually rendering the outline as it was stored in its OPML file, as opposed as with all its nodes initially expanded. 2:08:24 PM    comments:   Google It!
