7.7.4. List Styles In Shorthand

For brevity's sake, you can combine the three list-style properties into a convenient single property: list-style.

XML is platform independent, textual information

Information in an XML document is stored in plain-text. This might seem like a restriction if were thinking of embedding binary information in an XML document. There are several advantages to keeping things plain text. First, it is easy to write parsers and all other XML enabling technology on different platforms. Second, it makes everything very interoperable by staying with the lowest common denominator approach. This is the whole reason the web is so successful despite all its flaws. By accepting and sending information in plain text format, programs running on disparate platforms can communicate with each other. This also makes it easy to integrate new programs on top of older ones (without rewriting the old programs), by simply making the interface between the new and old program use XML.

For example, if you have an address book document stored in an XML file, created on a Mac, that you would like to share with someone who has a PC, you can simply email them the plain text address book XML document. This cant be done with binary encoded information which is totally platform (and program) dependent.

Another example is web enabling legacy systems. It is very feasible to create a Java web ennoblement application server that simply uses the services provided by the underlying legacy system. Instead of rewriting the legacy system, if the system can be made to communicate results and parameters through XML, the new and old system can work together without throwing away a company's investment in the legacy system.

XML is an open standard

the inline box. This is done by dividing the leading in half and applying each half-leading to the top and bottom of the content area. The result is the inline box. For example, if the content area is 14 points tall, and the line-height is set to 18 points, then the difference (4 points) is divided in half, and each half applied to the top and bottom of the inline box to arrive at an inline box which is 18 points tall. This sounds like a roundabout way to describe how line height works, but rest assured that there are excellent reasons for the description. See Chapter 8, "Visual Formatting", for a detailed explanation of the inline formatting model.

5.4.1. Fonts with Style

font-style is very simple: it's used toselect between normal text,italic text, and oblique text.That's it! The only complications are in recognizing thedifference between italic and oblique text and knowing why browsersdon't always give you a choice anyway.
