Improving Type on the Web -- Removing Widows and Orphans
- kennyroo 18y agoThis type of thing, while certainly low on any developer's to-do list (including mine), does indeed make for a more pleasant reading experience with very little work. Personally, I like what they're doing because they're doing it in regular XHTML and not resorting to alternative, non-open tools. Some sites (MSNBC, for one) are using Flash-MX to create headlined to achieve a print-like look, which seems odd because MSNBC has no print counterpart. It's refreshing to see the IHT and the NYT working so hard to do good things with native tools.
