On the other hand, copying the XHTML 1.1 DOCTYPE over from my main template was pretty easy.

ul.heatmap em em { font-size:11px }
ul.heatmap em em em { font-size:12px }
ul.heatmap em em em em { font-size:13px }
ul.heatmap em em em em em { font-size:14px }
ul.heatmap em em em em em em { font-size:15px }
ul.heatmap em em em em em em em { font-size:16px }
and so on...

I prefer my
em { font-size: 1.15em; }
trick.

Anne wrote on 2005/02/07:: Ah, but for the XHTML update you needed to do even more tricky things. Like adding a couple of tags :-)

Milo wrote on 2005/02/07:: The trickiness of adding tags is negligible to the trickyness of adding DOCTYPEs, imho. I don't have to think when doing the former :)
