nicer blockquote in weblog
Hello,
if i wan't to quote someone in my blog i usually use the blockquote-tag. But this looks really bad, look here for example:
https://www.fsfe.org/en/fellows/sm/my_fsfe_blog/linus_comments_on_gplv3_and_it_s_drm_restrictions
I have looked at the source of the HTML file and the css files.
I think the crucial file is /design/fsfe/stylesheets/classes.css. This file defines blockquote as:
blockquote
{
width: 14em;
padding: 0px;
}
I would recommand to remove the fixed width and insert instead some spacing and maybe a border on the left side to highlight blockquotes:
blockquote {
margin: 15px 10px 15px 10px;
padding-left: 20px;
border-left: 5px solid #ddd;
}
Cheers,
Bjoern

Re: nicer blockquote in weblog
Thank you for your suggestion. I have used it to change the css blockquote as follows. I noticed that the WYSIWYG editor doesn't have a function to add 'quote' formatting... will work on that too.
thanks

Re: nicer blockquote in weblog
Thank you! Now the blockquotes look much better and are better to read.
