Q why is a color word not a class class, eg

(:div class="frame green"
style="font-size:smaller":)
This text should be small, green, and
surrounded by a frame
(:divend:)

This text should be small, green, and surrounded by a frame

Q why does this not work?

(:div class="blue rframe" style="font-size:smaller":)
This text should be small, blue, and surrounded by a right floated frame
(:divend:)

This text should be small, blue, and surrounded by a right floated frame

Because, confusingly, rframe is not a class.

(:div class="blue rfloat frame" style="font-size:smaller":)
This text should be small, blue, and surrounded by a right floated frame
(:divend:)

This text should be small, blue, and surrounded by a right floated frame

Q Is a wiki style a class

%define=bclass bgcolor=#ddddff
border="1px dotted green"%

(:table:)
(:cellnr bclass:) test one
(:cellnr class="bclass":) test two
(:cellnr:)%bclass% test three
(:cellnr:)
>>bclass<<
test four
>><<
(:cellnr:)
(:div class="bclass":)
test five
(:divend:)
(:tableend:)

test one

test two

test three

test four

test five

It would be helpful to provide more consistency.

%define=zclass block bgcolor=#ddddff
border="1px dotted green"%

(:table:)
(:cellnr zclass:) test one
(:cellnr class="zclass":) test two
(:cellnr:)%zclass% test three
(:cellnr:)
>>zclass<<
test four
>><<
(:cellnr:)
(:div class="zclass":)
test five
(:divend:)
(:tableend:)

test one

test two

test three

test four

test five

What happened to test 3?

Q Why does neither of these apply styles to the contents of the DIV?

(:div class='lfloat' font-size='smaller' color='blue' bgcolor='#eee'
clear='left' :)
{*$Name}
(:divend:)

(:div style="font-size:'smaller'; color:'blue'; background-color:'#eee';
float:left; clear:'left';" :)
{*$Name}
(:divend:)

… or these

%define=mytrail div font-size='smaller' background-color='#eee'
float='right' clear='right' %
(:div:)
%mytrail%{*$Name}
(:divend:)

(:div mytrail:)
{*$Name}
(:divend:)

Remove apostrophes from style definition like this

(:div style="font-size: smaller ; color: blue ; background-color: #eeeeee ;
" :)
{*$Name}
(:divend:)
