It looks better. But you don't need <p> tags within the <h3>
tags as you have in
http://www.geocities.com/ceqli/gramintro.html.
And on the main page, you have a whole bunch of paragraph tags
within a long <h3> tag, which I'm pretty sure is not
correct (though it will display on IE and some other browsers,
there's no predicting how such a nonstandard formatting
will display on browsers you haven't tested it with).
The list of chapters with links to each would be better
formatted as a bullet list, like
<UL>
<LI><A HREF="alph.html">Alphabet & Phonology</A></LI>
<LI><A HREF="gramintro.html"> CHAPTER ONE — To be, Adjective,
Separating particle,
Compounds,"The", Tense, Location</A></LI>
......... etc ..........
</UL>
If you want to apply a large text size to a such a long
block of text in standard HTML, you'll need to either
use <BIG> or <FONT> elements within each <LI> or
<P> block, or else use a stylesheet and then
use a <DIV> block with style tags. The advantage
is that you can put any number and variety of
other tags inside the <DIV> block and they will
all be formatted with the same font face and size.
Alternately, you can just use a single
stylesheet command in the <HEAD> of the page
to make the entire page slightly bigger than default:
<style type="text/css"> <!--
BODY {
font-size: larger
}
--> </style>
Put that at the top, right after the </TITLE>
and before </HEAD>.
I notice that Internet Explorer will use
a sans-serif font if a page has a stylesheet
and no font specified, whereas it will
use a serif font if the page has no stylesheet
and no FONT tags.
