Hey dude, where's my color picker and font selector...?
The simple answer is that in XHTML (Strict / 1.1) color pickers are gone, and gone for good. Color pickers and font selectors create semantically barren code. The illustration below shows the meaningless markup generated by these old-fashioned formatting tools.
Now compare the semantically barren markup above to the meaningful markup generated by XStandard, through the simple-to-use "Styles" menu. Selecting among user-friendly names applies more meaningful markup to data while referencing CSS for formatting offers more plentiful formatting options and ensures consistency of look-and-feel.
Referencing CSS for formatting also makes changing the look and feel of thousands of Web pages easy, with the modification of one CSS file often all that is required.
