You should reconsider using the bgcolor property at all since it has been depreciated.
Depends on why it has been deprecated. It works. It's very backwards compatible. It is much more portable than style specifications.Quite true. You have to even drag out the font tags for compatability reasons at times, but last I checked, the only place I needed to abandon XHTML and CSS was for the mac's default mail program... I forget its name but it has no CSS support at all. All the same, I was troubled by the missing </p> and </li> tags as indicative of a more general malaise in regards to the evolving standards...
Also true, it is a matter of taste. My main point in throwing it out was to make sure it was something people were aware of. In general, quoting HTML can be a pain without a few perlish tricks like << and qq(). These days I'm a fan of slurping an XHTML template up into a DOM with XML::DOM::Parser and working with it that way. Its all about taste and fads, that's why programming is an art form... at least with perl.You'd also avoid tons of quote errors and improve the readability of
your code by using the << operator like so:
Depends on the visual effect you want. I have particular standards for readability in both HYML and structured programming, and they are not the same. Therefore I prefer to use: indent (int spacing, string test) {...} to set the specifications for how my output will appear, while maintaining the flow of indentaion within my program code. It is a matter of taste.
