Terms are formatted differently from the general text, but this format varies from paragraph-to-paragraph and, in some cases, from sentence-to-sentence. Examples: S2.1P1: Sentence 2: content attributes, DOM Attributes -- bold Sentence 3: properties -- quoted S2.1P2: Sentence 1: All terms are links with no additional format S2.1P4: Sentence 1: document -- italicized S2.1.1P1: Sentence 2: Terms are quoted and bold I'm not sure if there is a standard for how emphasis should be placed when defining terms. IIRC from my school days, textbooks would typically have terms in bold text. 25407 1 ian 2009-06-01 20:09:36 +0000 I've tried to make this mildly more consistent, but most of the differences have somewhat good reasons for being there. The things that are links are links to the "real" definitions elsewhere. The terms that are not quoted are being used in context, so it would be inappropriate to quote them. If there are specific cases you think are especially egregious, please let me know. 33086 2 mjs 2010-03-14 13:18:37 +0000 This bug predates the HTML Working Group Decision Policy.
