a DW question

[mmegaera]

When people do quotations from other sources in DW, the words show up in a black block with white writing. If I look at this black box long enough to read the writing, when I look away again, I get an afterimage that lasts approximately as long as it took to read the quotation. For long quotations, this is really annoying.

Is there a way to keep DW from putting quotations in white letters on a black background?

Thanks!

Yipe.

It may be your style (some styles have color backgrounds for blockquotes). What I saw of the style you're using indicates good use of color and clean lines--I like it--but I don't know which one it is.

People post style problems in style_system--I meant style_system, pardon my mistake, and other people come up with solutions.

I have finally bought HTML and CSS for Dummies so I can get a handle on this stuff. (Hmmmm. I wonder if background color is an attribute in blockquote and can be input directly...?)

I'll be honest. I'm more inclined to just skip the quotes rather than go to all the hassle of trying to fix the problem. If it was a quick fix (click a button), I'd do it, but I'm not going to deal with posting on a board and waiting for a solution that will probably be more than I want to deal with. Or changing my style.

What I'm saying is that if there's a quick fix, I want it. If there isn't, then DW needs to create one, and if they haven't, they've screwed up.

Sorry, I don't mean to be shooting the messenger, but honestly!

No harm, no foul! (I wouldn't mind a very pale tint behind blockquotes, but I don't know how to do that. Not to mention a blockquote button...)

Hope you get a solution!

Thanks. Me, too.
