Re^5: Defining Characters in Word Boundary?

~~I used color here very purposefully to set apart Perl code from its surrounding explanatory text. I did this for clarity. I didn't use color "casually."~~

~~Please avoid using themes that don't "play well" with the colors in my PerlMonks posts. :)~~

UPDATE: Removed color and rescinded my remarks.

I used color here very purposefully to set apart Perl code from its surrounding explanatory text. I did this for clarity. I didn't use color "casually." CODE tags already stand out from the surrounding text, its part of their purpose. What is casual about your usage is: font tags instead of span/div, no background color. Please avoid using themes that don't "play well" with the colors in my PerlMonks posts. :) Like Bones McCoy said Dammit, Jim you're not on the standards committee :) Themes don't assume a background and text color, they specify each explicitly. Your non-standard usage ignores a themes text and background color specification. When we customize css, we follow the built-in themes like RFCs. Signatures and Node Templates Also, keep in mind that many monks surf with custom CSS and non-standard color schemes. If you use explicit colors in your signature, it may look groovy-cool with your settings but be an obnoxious mess with theirs. Hard-coded colors breaking custom CSS settings.	[reply]

Thank you for the fuller explanation, Anonymous Monk. I stand corrected.	[reply]
