An Inquiry Into Values

Exercises

That's all for this time. Until the next tutorial arrives, try the following to hone your skills:

Finding Your Display's DPI

Using the example on the previous page and a ruler marked in inches or centimeters, try to determine your displays DPI, or dots per inch. Do the same on other displays and compare the differences. Compare those to printer DPI values, which are usually around 300 or 600dpi for modern laser printers.

Unit Conversion

Take the following style sheet and document and convert it to use only one of the seven length unit types. Try it with all the unit types, and see what works best.

H1 {
 text-align: center;
 font: bold italic 2pc/2em Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
P {
 text-indent: 3ex;
 margin-left: 1in;
 margin-right: 1.5in;
 margin-top: 10px;
 margin-bottom: 10px;
}
