The GELLMU Examples ArchiveGELLMU and CSSwith a Gratuitous ASCII Chart
in a FootnoteWilliam F. Hammond30 April 2002At this point the author is evaluating the usefulness for the
GELLMU Project of using Cascading Style Sheets
(CSS) to provide crude renderings of the XML version of
the projects article document typeOne point involves the placement of verbatim text, such as an

chart in a footnoteVarious versions of this document are available: Note that the XML version is an instance of the GELLMU
article document type, which means that from the
viewpoint of a web browser its vocabulary is completely unknown
It contains a link to a CSS style sheet that serves to provide
a crude screen formattingNote that CSS is presently rather
limited In particular, it does not provide a way to move a footnote
to the bottom, or, for that matter, to move anythingNote that there are no live anchors in the web rendering of the
XML version if only because
- CSS provides no way to do that
- the projects article document type presently does not
use XMLlevel anchors
The CSS renditon of the XML version works as
intended when viewed with Opera 6 on a Win32 platform
The author is not fully satisfied with the CSS handling of any
other web browser that he has tried to useThe screen PDF formatter for GELLMU has not yet been
completed Screen PDF will have live anchors and in many
respects be similar to the experimental PP4PDF formatter for PDF
incremental slides An example slideshow is available at

,
and an anchor for the draft formatter will be found at the end of the
slide show
