Yes, but if HTML doesn't tell it to do anything, it will use its default fonts, colours etc. My Lojban course is the same - I wrote it in minimal HTML so that people can easily have it look the way they want it to. I'm thinking of using style sheets at some point (so that, for example, Lojban text can come out in a different font rather than being italicised, which looks yucky on some browsers) but I reckon I'd better finish writing the damn thing first (BTW, I've just returned to the task, and have nearly finished Lesson 10). To change default colours and fonts, go to "Edit" -> "Preferences" (or whatever your particular browser uses). Some people object violently to documents specifying things like background colours (though I regard this as equally misguided, since they can always set their browsers to over-ride them). The only thing I find really objectionable is non-standard HTML tags (like those horrible Microsoft "smart" quotes) but then I used to be guilty of that myself not so long ago. co'o mi'e robin. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LOW RATE, NO WAIT!
