OmniWeb 1.0's new HTML look-n-feel

[William Shipley]

We've modified our styles to look as much like NetScape as possible; since  
it's more or less the emerging standard that people are writing pages  
against.  While I'm sympathetic to people who feel the OmniWeb look was  
better, since I designed it, I feel that it's better in the long run to  
adopt a de-facto standard than to be different just for the sake of being  
different.  (Some will call me a heretic for this, especially since I'm a  
NeXT developer.)

The main things you'll notice is that our headers got a lot smaller, <h1>  
isn't centered, addresses look correct, dictionaries have bold terms, and  
compact dictionaries are actually compact.  We also don't mess with the  
margins as much.  And, as an added bonus, I made tabs work in <PRE>  
sections, which was a real pain let me tell you.

In addition, we've added some NetScape extensions.  Numbered lists can now  
be numbered any of about a zillion different ways, horizontal rules can have  
a specified thickness and width and alignment, explicit centering is now  
possible, and isindex documents can specify a prompt.  We'll be adding more.  
 Check this page for how to use these extensions; but please note that not  
everything on the page has been implemented yet:

bookmarks?  Notice that the link opens as a boomarks list?  Pretty cool,  
huh?
