As far as I can tell, indentation generally follows the individual editors' and translators' tastes. They are after all the only people who look at the source code on a regular basis. I see no reason to change this only to suit aesthetically minded visitors who happens to browser our site by HTML source code - how likely a situation is that? > >No. This has been discussed before on the list - each word in that area of > >the page is the translation of the respective language name into that > >language.

Personally I have no trouble locating the individual languages in the list.

I'm not aware of any cross-language grammar rule convering this situation (or any situation, for that matter). Our solution to the problem seems like a reasonable compromise. If the listed languages were all in upper or lower case, I'm certain someone else would complain, as you can't satisfy everyone. > >Unfortunately Jutta, who has been doing most of the CSS changes lately, > >doesn't test on MSIE at all. :-/ > > But if i tested it on both of them, why dont you make the necessary changes ? Please have patience, all this is done in our spare time as a hobby.

I have no comments on the points you make on correctness of code; we do care about it and it will probably be fixed if a knowledgeable person looks into it agrees with your conclusions. All of the above is only my take on it; we are many people working on Debian's web site... -- Regards, Kaare - <http://www.nightcall.dk/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
