mike_g Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Hi, I'm making a syntax highlighter. It can output to html, which creates quite a bit of bloat. To reduce the file size I am having a go at using XML. I'm not sure if i'm doing this right; havent really used xml before, but FF seems to display the content alright except for one thing. The line height seems to be too big for some reason. Heres a test page showing what I mean: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"><html> <head> <style type="text/css"> code_x{font-family:courier new, sans;font-size:10px;white-space:pre;line-height:0;} dft{color: #888888;font-weight: normal;} kwd{color: #000000;font-weight: bold;} nbr{color: #00FF00;font-weight: normal;} </style> </head> <body> <code_x> <kwd>int </kwd><dft>main() { </dft><kwd>return</kwd><nbr> 0</nbr><dft>; }</dft> </code_x> </body></html> Could someone please explain what I am doing wrong, or how to fix this?Cheers.

Synook Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Umm why are you using the XHTML DTD when your document obviously isn't XHTML? You'll need to create your own.Anyway, the line-height (without that line-height:0 property) seems fine, but there is a double line break after the opening brace - is that what you meant?

mike_g Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 there is a double line break after the opening brace - is that what you meant?No. every line had a big gap below it.Umm why are you using the XHTML DTD when your document obviously isn't XHTML? You'll need to create your own.Yeah removing the doctype sorted out the line spacing problem. IDK why I put it there; just ripped the top two lines from some other site since i never know what to put as the doctype and stuff. Cheers.

Synook Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 i never know what to put as the doctype and stuff.If you learn how to make a DTD (e.g. through the W3School's DTD tutorial), you can make one that describes your new syntax-highlighting language.
