Re: [bug-cgicc] cgicc bug?

[Stephen F. Booth]

Thanks for the patch!  But believe it or not, I actually left those elements 
out intentionally.  Back when this file was written HTML 4.0 was the standard 
(there was no XHTML) but if you use HTML, v4.01 is current.  The elements you 
mention, FONT and CENTER, are actually "deprecated" (a word we have to thank 
Java for!)-
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/graphics.html#edef-FONT
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/graphics.html#edef-CENTER
The thinking behind this (as far as I can tell) was to divorce strictly 
presentation issues from html itself, and use stylesheets to replace those 
elements.
Anyway, that's the reason there aren't in there.  But obviously feel free to 
use them in your code.
