The problem runs even deeper.
The following are imported as "font-style: italic":
<q>
<samp>
<var>
<kbd>
<address>
<cite>
<em>
The following are imported as "font-weight: bold":
<dfn>
<strong>
The following are imported as "font-family: courier":
<code>
<tt>
One way to improve this would be to have a file with style mappings:
q {
font-style: italic;
color: blue;
}
tt {
font-family: 'Helvetica';
color: red;
}
or something like that. But inserting extra text... I'm not sure.
Maybe:
<q before="&lquo;" after="&rquo;" style="font-style: italic; color: blue" />
<tt style="font-family: fixed">
Thoughts?
