I've been struggling with date markings ever since the new rulings
were announced.
Graying out the text worked for a while, but now as the end of the
calendar year approaches, the whole calendar is grayed.
Red didn't work either because it made the "dates" look like special items.
Likewise, inserting <text> or <span> tags has proved to be a royal pain.
Since most of my pages are in tables and css controlled, it became an
easy matter the change the class.
TD.cps10 {FONT: 10pt arial,helvetica, serif;}
TD.cps10Past {FONT: 10pt arial,helvetica, serif; text-decoration: line-through}
code:
from-
<td class="cps10">
to-
<td class="cps10Past">
By simply creating a duplicate style line, appending the name with
Past, and adding text-decoration: line-through, all formatting is
preserved. Since I reuse many of my tables from year to year, it is
much easier to remove Past than long <text> or <span> strings.
Now all I have to do is remember where I placed all the dates.
Food for thought.
