Indeed. I think it is time we examine what type of culture we want to live in, and work towards it.
And, yes, I do think that a single post title—instantly amplified and multiplied—has an effect on how individuals relate on a social level.
We need to understand that we are currently building the future.
I was searching for public domain epic poems that I could use in testing some markup. I hit Don Juan and Divine Comedy before deciding to use chunks of The Faerie Queene.
I found two groovy sources for it: the incomplete Wikisource entry, and this read along site.
Beginning in January 2012, Mike is going to read The Faerie Queene and we’re all invited along. The site is already impressive, and it’s bound to become more so once he’s underway. I hope at some point he expands the about page to a feature length movie.
I trimmed down the code for y’all. Here is the most minimal parts of it. How can I make this work in Opera? (yes, and maybe even IE). By work in Opera I mean render like it does in Webkit and Gecko, like so:
Apparently the magic that allows this to work is the css height: 0; declaration. I’m not sure why that is, but it gives me the chills (and probably nightmares entitled Box Model).
[crayon lang=”html”]
[/crayon][crayon lang=”css”]
span.subdraft {
display: inline-block;
}
span.subdraft sup {
height: 0;
float: left;
}
[/crayon]
Or, if it’s easier, you can download a html file (css embedded).
Knowing that my task would be easier if I had the words I went on a quest to find the name for setting a superscript directly above a subscript 
. The closest I came was Mixed Tensor, which is, like, a math thing.
I’ve searched typographic sites, and linguistic sites, a reverse dictionary.
And I gave up.
I’m having some rendering issues in Opera and MSIE.
I want to include currency and version information at the end of poem titles. I’ve decided to print a superscript current draft asterisk directly above a subscript version number.
I’ve attempted various methods, such as negative left margins to move the superscript over the top of the subscript, but the best looking was to enclose the <sub> and <sup> in a <span> and float:left the <sup>.
As can be seen in the screenshots below, it renders as I expected it to in WebKit and Gekco browsers, but not in Opera or IE. Opera inserts a horizontal space between the superscript and subscript. MSIE places the superscript below the subscript.
I don’t have a Windows machine, so no IE, and browsershots.org has yet to give me a grab; I have to rely friends to send me screenshots, so working on an IE solution is slow going. …Read on for screenshots and the code I’m working with.
