Hi John -
On styles…
“f-lp” is a style that Softpress has coded into how Freeway Pro handles
some situations, like a first or last paragraph. The style is set with a *
margin-bottom* attribute of 0px, which would remove any extra space from
beneath whatever it is applied to. Usually these styles are harmless and
can be ignored, but it is important to know how Freeway is writing that
style code. To better diagnose your problem I will need to see that
information. One way of giving me what I need is to open your external css
file with the text editor, find the *h1 style *and copy/paste that into
your reply so I can see how it is written. Better still, if you have or can
publish and upload a page where you see the problem, paste the link to it
in your reply and I can track down that information and any other factors
that may interfere with your style.
On semantics…
Semantics is a word used to describe* *the philosophy that page
structure itself has meaning. We are used to visually implying the
meaning of content - size, color, style, position… but we also use these
things to create visual decoration. Imagine an internet that searched
content visually while also separating artistic intent from actual meaning…
such a thing would be impossible. So the problem for modern designers is
how to make content searchable and meaningful beyond mere visuality. The
solution is to separate decoration from content (CSS) and build meaning
into the page structure itself (HTML). In my practice, if your page makes
sense without styles, then you have good, solid, searchable content.
I could go on, but there are better resources out there. Kinda old now, but
still my faves for initiates are the Dan Cederholm books, Bulletproof Web
Design, and Web Standards Solutions.
Also, if any of the Softpress elves have made it this far – are there any
published documentation on those extra styles you guys make Freeway Pro
write for us, like the f-lp, etc.???

I have a HTML item with a h1 tag assigned on each of my pages. I have used
Edit Style to edit the h1 style to match the rest of my page text, however
when i view the page in the browser the h1 text is not displayed as based
on the h1 tag style, within the page source there is the line
Glandore Harbour Yacht Club
and i am assuming that the
class f-lp has something to do with the difference in the style but do not
know enough about HTML to fix this problem… The other point is that i
assume it is good practice to get the h1 tag’s as near the top of the body
as possible?
Thanks
