UPDATE: ~~Don't know if it applies to PM's home-grown tags, styles, etc, but that would not be legal in w3c .css.~~

~~Only a single class is allowed within the tag it "modifies."~~

See Ven'Tatsu's below. He is correct and my statement was wrong. (Next para is still true, but less relevant to css vers > 2.0

<sometag class="1" style="2; 3; 4;">

is allowed, but 2, 3 and 4 must be defined css elements. I'n not aware of any good way to make them refer to "roll-your-owns."

UPDATE: However, read also the note at the end of §5.8.3 at http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/selector.html

Typical (and ugly) workarounds involve creating compound styles

.c {
text-align: center;
}

.cb {
text-align: center;
font-weight: bold;
}

.cbr {
text-align: center;
font-weight: bold;
color: red;
background-color: transparent;
}

.cbri (or whatever, ad nauseum)...

or the even-uglier use of multiple <span> tags; eg

<p class="c"><span class="b"><span class="r">fubar whatever.... </span
+></span></p>

UPDATE: To my mind the "compound" style declaration above is on the same order of ugliness as the multi-classing in w3c's pages cited in this node and in Ven'Tatsu's. It may, however, be more readable.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
