Writing in semantics
Its effectively a transposition. Steering away from whats easy. Steping on the shovel, breaking new ground. Yeah, its all these things.
I'm convinced that XHTML is what math students need to write. Tasked with writing my work report in a single week, I've turned to the ever-so-white 'New Document'. Yep, my text editor is getting a workout, and I fully resent it. All I want to do is write my work report in markup, and have a way to go straight to print with it. I want tags.
The problem I have with writing is its lack of formality. Yes, Grammer. This may be strange, but I find a solution in XHTML. Each paragraph is denoted as such. Each title, subtitle and sub-subtitle is denoted as such. Behind each acronym, is a meaning. This makes so much sense to me. So instead of complaining about my document editor, I decided to learn more about it. There has to be a powerful tool buried underneath there somewhere, right? Well its true, there is. My advice to anyone complaining about their editor is to take some time and learn it!
If I could find a way to put page breaks and a table of contents into my HTML documents, then I wouldn't be opening Dreamweaver to tell you this, I'd be opening it to write my work report. Maybe CSS v.3 will bring that functionality. And maybe one browser will implement it before I'm finished my schooling career. Only if we're lucky.
