This article describes the way I style things in this blog.
Blockquotes Β I use the following CSS styles for my blockquotes. Final result is:
blockquote:before{ color:#808080; content:open-quote; font-size:4em; line-height:.1em; margin-right:.25em; vertical-align:-.4em; }
blockquote :first-child{display:inline;} blockquote :last-child{margin-bottom:0;}
pre {
border:1px dashed #E1E1E1;
color:#333344;
background:#FAFAFA;
font-family:monospace;
overflow:auto;
font-size:11px;
padding:0.5em;
}
