Re: [Phpwiki-talk] Another dumb "can't-track-it-down" question: why huge fonts

Hi,

PhpWiki uses css almost exclusively to define the page appearance, so 
you need to look at editing the style sheet file 
http://www.rawfoodwiki.org/themes/Portland/portland.css.

A good online authoritative reference for CSS can be found at: 
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/

Note that how a page appears in a browser will be unpredictable if 
there is a mixture of html styles AND css styles, it will depend on the 
individual browser.

PhpWiki out of the box is set to use XHTML which is similar to HTML 4. 
If you decide to forgo css and only work with the older HTML tags like 
<font size=...> it would be a good idea to adjust head.tmpl to reflect 
the html code you use to help out the browser trying to render the 
page. (For your setup I would copy 
wiki/themes/default/templates/head.tmpl into 
wiki/themes/Portland/templates/head.tmpl and edit the copy.)

html 4 reference: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/
