4.05b3: CSS Conversion Problem

[Steve King]

(Using iSilo 4.05b3 on Sony Clie NX70 (PalmOS5) and iSiloX 4.05b3 on Win2k.)

I'm trying to convert a book which makes use of CSS, but some of the styles seem to by ignored by iSiloX. The best example is the book's typographic conventions page at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/svnbook/pr02s03.html.

1. The "constant width" text is drawn with a proportional font.

HTML:

<b class="command">Constant width</b>


Style:

.command, .screen, .programlisting
{
font-family: courier new,courier,fixed;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
}


2. The "constant width italic" text is drawn as proportional italic.

HTML:

<i class="replaceable"><tt>Constant width italic</tt></i>


Style:

TT,PRE
{
font-family: courier new,courier,fixed;
}


(No style given for the "replaceable" class.)

3. The "Note", "Tip", and "Warning" icons are missing.

HTML:

<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p>This icon designates a note relating to the surrounding text.</p>
</div>


Style:

.note
{
border: black solid 1px;
background: url(./images/note.png) no-repeat;
margin: 0.12in 0;
padding: 0 55px;
}


Screenshots taken from Mozilla Firefox 0.8 and iSilo 4.05b3 are attached.

Wtih respect to the fonts, the document you are converting specifies an unknown font. The CSS standard defines five generic font types: serif, sans-serif, cursive, fantasy, and monospace. It would be nice if iSiloX recognized fixed and monospace as the same, but the document is incorrect here.

For reference, it should read:


font-family: "courier new","courier",monospace;


Note the quotes around specific names; they are not required by the CSS standard, but they are nice. ;)
