||
51 | 5 | Steffen Ritter | The rendering of CSS Styles Content has been overworked to generate valid output for every selectable doktype. |
52 | Especially for HTML5 rendering CSS Styled Content has been overworked completely, to use the new possiblities, beeing as semantic as possible and reduce the amount of superflouus markup. |
||
53 | Furthermore no inline CSS is generated anymore. |
