D - CSS based syntax formatting...

I mentioned this as an idea in the now infamous "The D journal" thread, and wanted to give you an update on my progress... In short it works, but the HTML source looks awful, and there are a number of problems. As it is now, it displays correctly(ish) in Netscape 6.2, (haven't tried anything lower), but falls apart miserably in IE 6. (This is because IE does not yet support :before and :after pseudo properties, just in case you were wondering.) The style sheets I've created, do not alter any code (ie it do not insert or remove {} braces) they only alter the position and quantity of whitespace in key positions, affecting things like indentation and brace placement. I'm not going to do any more work on this, I'll just concentrate on standardizing the css syntax highlighting for the journal and leave formatting to the editors... Alix Pexton...
