| 18:06.44 | mindjuju | i've got a block of text on a web page that reads like Dostoevsky's Brothers Karamazov, which is to say, an incredible eyesore. anybody know any CSS tricks to pretty up unslightly blocks of obscenely long text? |

| 19:18.01 | macnewbold | mindjuju: paragraph tags to break it up, making sure the lines aren't too long (i.e. columns aren't too wide), relevant images can help visually, and reevaluating what you're trying to say and making sure those are the right sequence of words to say it |
| 19:20.10 | wps | good recommendations, macnewbold |
| 19:20.22 | wps | and most of the time, in regards to web, half you copy… and then half it again |
| 19:20.44 | macnewbold | there's not a whole lot you can do if you really do need to say all that stuff, except find logical ways to break it up |
| 19:20.48 | macnewbold | yeah, seriously |
| 19:21.01 | macnewbold | most web copy is marketing copy, and needs to be brief to be effective |
| 19:22.15 | wps | and also prefer the leading to be more than the HTML default |
| 19:22.36 | macnewbold | leading==linespacing? |
| 19:22.42 | wps | yes |
| 19:22.54 | macnewbold | yeah, adjusting line-height with css is easy and helpful |
| 19:23.03 | macnewbold | you can also adjust letter-spacing if you need to, |
| 19:23.12 | macnewbold | but only to make it bigger. smaller is the wrong direction. |
| 19:27.32 | macnewbold | the right font and font size can help too. often a serif font will make dense text look denser and more daunting than the same text in a sans serif font. |
| 19:27.46 | macnewbold | some browsers look horrid with certain fonts at certain sizes. Avoid those. |
