Not to me, but to you? I'll bet good money that you didn't know all 10
beforehand. After all, number 9 is one that I've had to explain to you
more than once.
Many of those items have already been discussed here in this group.
Repeatedly. Numbers 7, 8 and 10 are very common questions here and in
ciwas. So obviously people need to be told about them.
They suggest using the "font" element and notating each and every item
within it.
No they don't. They suggest using the font property not the font
element.
It saves typing.
What if I only want to use font-family and font-size?
The rest is wasted time and effort.
Then that's all you need to specify. Those are the two values that
_must_ be specified when using the shorthand, everything else is
optional.
Making a container to hold your working divisions in is nothing new.
I've been making that suggestion for well over a year.
Every time I've seen you suggest it, it has not been for the reason
given in number 6, in fact usually it's been for no reason at all.
Besides, those tricks can be found all over the web.
Probably a sign that bringing them together in one place was a good
idea.
That said I was less than impressed when I first saw that list when it
was first published last autumn and I'm no more impressed upon
rereading it. About half the items are useful but the other half can
be very dangerous if not used properly and there simply isn't enough
explanation given and no links to further reading.
