Run-ins
“Question: Why would you want to do this?”
When it is desired that a Heading appear to be inline with the following paragraph—this is actually described in the document that PPK links to!? Here is the latest version. This is a reasonably common request and with out “run-in” we have to use appalling hacks or more usually use a B element instead of a Heading element.
Here’s an example which displays as expected in recent versions of Safari and Opera and demonstrates the above.
PPK’s question comes across as slightly dismissive to me and I hope that it doesn’t give the IE and Mozilla teams reason to believe that RUN-IN is somehow a fringe property value and not useful or desired. It is both and it’d be great to be able to actually use it sometime soon.
