I voted for <font> for two reasons:
- I don't care for serif fonts, and I can use it to
specify sans-serif ones.
- I know <font> is considered "bad," but my knowledge of HTML is only current up until the
time I got out of school and got my "real job"
programming. :)
Well, that's not entirely true. I have learned just enough
CSS to rip off, er, borrow some from other people's pages.
I remember the first time I saw a
page that changed the
default font. It took me 15 minutes to read the source and
rush to update all my pages.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
