[Pmwiki-users] Re: %class=something% (was Re: Extending ...)

[Richard Canning]

I think my biggest problem with extending the %...% markup is that it only works for a single block of text. If I wanted to change the typeface on a series of paragraphs, then I would need to do this for each of them. I would much prefer to be able to start a div, put in all of the stuff I want to
use that class, and then end it.

That is why I suggested doing it like tables are done. It gives a lot more flexibility for being able to do this.

I don't like [[div]]... but I can't really say way -- maybe because it's to HTML-specific?  A solution that extends the %...% markup feels better 
somehow.
