"is used to hightlight important text"
I agree. But shouldn't users be able to say what text is important to them on a page? I don't think the user name of a post and his/her rank are eg more important than the post content.

Re: have the strong tag be part of css instead of code (7 replies, posted in Feature requests)
I thought the other way was the more logical: users use 'strong' when they like in the css instead of styling the strong tag to something looking like regular text?

I see the <strong> tag coming up quite a few times in the output. All of the times it could as well be part of the stylesheet, so users have more control of the look.

After installation it gives some things to copy in a file named config.php, but what I got was without the closing ?>.

Topic: installation: asterisk password (5 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
On the installation screen the chosen password is in plain text. This can be made a little more secure by making it input type="password", so it appears as asterisks.

Topic: search function auto and (2 replies, posted in Feature requests)
I think most people, like me, think that a multiple search request is automatically combined with AND. Though I would like to hear from people who prefer this to not so and think putting AND within every search is more natural.

Re: line break in html output (4 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
I like to have my code visually uncluttered, because that eases troubleshooting with it.
html code is like sex: if you know what you're looking at, things will go easier.

Topic: line break in html output (4 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
The function generate_navlinks() seems to output all html in one line. I thought I could help this by adding \n somewhere, but that doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions?

Re: get css out of code (15 replies, posted in Feature requests)
You're right about the css. It should be "html".
I gave the example of the h1 because a h1 sets a lot of style for what is contained in the tag. It's difficult to get this look like something yo have styled in a div everywhere else.
I see the point about templates. This would indeed increase the number of template files somewhat, like phpbb has hundreds of them. But now I have to go through all the files to find out where eg <pun_title> is made, and change it there. My fear is that all this work will be worth nothing as soon as an update (however small) requires me to replace those files.
ps: there's a small comment confusion in the header.php file, on line 132/134: <pun_title> instead of <pun_page>

Topic: get css out of code (15 replies, posted in Feature requests)
I would like to suggest/request, to get as much css (and html) as possible out of the code.
As an example I'll use the main.tpl file:
there's the code <pun_title>, and that displays not only the title, but also puts it inside a h1 tag and some span (without id nor class). I think it would be usefull that only the title is displayed by <pun_title>.
1)That way it is much easier to modify the template.
2)If only the template has to be altered (eg leaving out the h1 in the tpl file), there's a higher probability one doesn't have to change everything back after upgrading all those non-tpl files.
