  • I would suggest changing the wp-layout.css stylesheet instead of formatting using spaces and breaks. That way you stay away from all those disfunctional html formatting objects.
    adding margin styling to at list level where you need should do the trick… look for #menu ul in your wp-layout.css file. There are a series of them that will allow you pretty fine control over those category lists.
    You can even custom define some css classes if needed.

    Accessibility is always kind of a moving target. Most of the time I don’t think just because Bobby gives you the thumbs up its necessarily accessible.
    But that said..
    The default index.php page for WP 1.2 will pass Section 508, with one small modification…
    Down where the ‘search form’ is (looks around line 75) the <label> needs to be inside the form.

    74. <li id="search">
    75. <label for="s"><?php _e('Search:'); ?></label>
    76. <form id="searchform" method="get" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>">

    to

    74.<li id="search">
    75. <form id="searchform" method="get" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>">
    76. <label for="s"><?php _e('Search:'); ?></label>

    It doesn’t achieve any of the WAI Accessibility levels out of the box, but by some very minor modifications it should be able perform as you need it.
    After a few tweaks, I validated to WAI Level 3 according to Bobby.
    As far as the ‘admin’ pages – I can’t vouch either way for them.

    Bravo, tr?¨s liquide.
    Whats the word on those ‘non-SGML characters’?, just for my edification.

    Nested categories is a feature of the new WP 1.2, WP Wiki on it.
    Basically within the admin menu/categories tab – when adding a category you have the option to name its ‘parent’ category. Which nests the new category inside that parent.

    That’s kind of the swing I had on the ball. I used multiple blogs on MT for various functions – main blog, photo blog, math notes, etc.
    When I switched over to WP I was able to coalesce all of my various blogs into a category scheme, and run one blog. Which is swank for administration.
    Now the biggest drawback for me is that they all feed off of the same index.php, and I have yet to figure out how to significantly customize/duplicate or otherwise modify the index.php files to give me the special functions and appearances these ‘sub blogs’ need.
    Any ideas floating about?

    Ah yes podz, I forgot to mention the link thing, I got it to work by changing the link to…
    javascript:if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Safari') >= 0){Q=getSelection();}else{Q=document.selection?document.selection.createRange().text:document.getSelection();}void(window.open('your_install_location/wp-admin/recent-links.php?action=popup&text='+escape(Q)+'&popupurl='+escape(location.href)+'&popuptitle='+escape(document.title),'WordPress bookmarklet','scrollbars=yes,width=600,height=460,left=100,top=150,status=yes'));
    you are adding in your site location in the window.open function…

    I would normally tend to ignore such debates. But as I am sitting here on my couch, reading this on my TV, I can strongly attest to the general difficulty of reading serif fonts as compared to sans.
    But as I use the wp-admin panel it seems easy enough to bump up the font size to make it clear.

    It was the markup exclusions in the kses.php file. I added the math tags to the $allowedtags array and now the [mathml][/mathml] works properly in comments as well. Thanks mang.
    And Jacques, an itexToMML plugin would be awesome, as the binaries are already installed on my server.

    Hey mang,
    I was trying to edit the ‘mathml.php’ file to include a filter…
    add_filter('comment_text', 'to_mathml', 9);
    I get the [mathml]…[/mathml] to translate, but it omits the tags. Do you know what I’m screwing up on here?
    Ultimately, I am trying to extend to the comments section.

    Another swanky plug-in, thanks. Installed 1.3 last night. I made a custom MT plug for myself that functioned like this.
    I was agitated to think I might have to re-create something for WP. But, it was a song to swap my link database into yours.
    Nice to see people are a step ahead.

    That is way swank. Thank you. It installed no problems. For a time I have been using Jacques Distler’s Itex2MML plugin for Movable Type. So by necessity my content was xhtml 1.1 compliant and had the proper doc-types.
    I highly suggest a MathML plug-in like this one or a Itex2MML derivative (Itex is a LaTex derivative) to become a standard plug-in for WP.
    Again, thank you for your trouble ringmaster.
