WTF?
This is a page for trying out typographic conventions.
Links
- http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/<entity> (italic)
- http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/<entity> (bold)
- http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/<entity> (bold italic)
- http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/<entity> (tt, should be fixed width)
- http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/<entity> (fixed width italic)
- http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/<entity> (fixed width bold)
- http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/<entity> (fixed width bold italic)
- http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/<entity> (fixed width w/ all italic, which is what the O'Reilly guide suggests but I don't think the replaceable text stands out enough this way)
- http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/<entity> (fixed width bold w/ all italic)
Entities in sentences?
- An artist is not an artist. (tt)
- An artist in not an artist. (tt italic)
- an artist is not an artist (css font-family:monospace , should be fixed width but note it's smaller)
Monospace tests
- OOOOOO
So, note. Monospace will default (for most sytems) to smaller-than-body-text unless you put in a dummy font-family first. So:
<span style="font-family:mono-workaround, monospace;">Foo</span>
Code
html code block
Oh! I just learned about the kbd
tag (for 'user input') which looks like this. Should be monospaced, probably has the same font-size problems mentioned above|below|whatever.
I don't like the gray. It's too dark, at least on my system.
Other Colors
div
for comparison, this is the standard code block again
inline
This is an inline lightgray box.
This is an inline gainsboro box.
This is an inline whitesmoke box.
This is an inline ghostwhite box.
This is an inline ghostwhite w/ lightgray border box.# border too dark
This is an inline whitesmoke with box shadow box.# silly
<code>from markdown import code_block_style</code>
markdown uses <pre><code> to format code blocks
The O'Reilly way
Filenames, file extensions (such as .jpeg), directory paths, commands in Unix, Oracle, SQL, and Linux books | Body font italic |
URLs, URIs, email addresses | Body font italic |
Emphasized words (shouting!) | Body font italic |
First instance of a technical term | Body font italic |
Code blocks | Constant width |
Registry keys | Constant width |
Language and script elements: class names, types, namespaces, attributes, methods, variables, keywords, functions, modules, commands, properties, parameters, values, objects, events, XML and HTML tags, and similar elements. Some examples include: System.Web.UI, a while loop, the Socket class, and the Obsolete attribute. Exception: commands in Unix, Oracle, SQL, and Linux book, which are regular italics. | Constant width |
Replaceable items (placeholder items in syntax); “username” in the following example is a placeholder: "login: username" | Constant width italic |
Commands or text to be typed by the user | Constant width bold |
Line annotations | Body font italic (but smaller) |
Placeholders in paths, directories, GUI items, URLs, or other text that would be italic anyway | http://www.<yourname>.com |
Keyboard accelerators (Ctrl, Shift, etc.), menu titles, menu options, menu buttons | Body text |
