using font styles instead of font tags

[John VanAntwerp]

Is there a setting in ELJ (version 6.4 or newer) that makes it do color
changes, etc., with styles rather than with a <font> tag?  I think there
is but for the life of me I can't find the configuration option.

 

Thanks!

- John

At least in 6.7 and 7.0 it uses <span style="..."> by default.  I  
don't think there's an option to change it back to using <font> tags.  
I would have thought the change occurred back in the 5.0 days or  
before so apparently I'm wrong about there not being a config.  What  
happens if you switch to the default sample_eljconfig.xml we ship?

Adrian Sutton.

Ahh, my mistake... it is ExpressEdit that uses the old <font> tags.  ELJ
(correctly) uses styles.

Thanks!
