WLW Limitations: Heading Levels with Movable Type

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

When authoring today’s Current Blog Status with Windows Live Writer, I noticed that setting sub-heading levels didn’t seem to have any effect in the WLW editing pane.  There is also no indication in the blog post itself whether these lines are any different from normal paragraphs.

This may be related to the use of XHTML instead of HTML for the Movable Type posts.  It might also be a template matter.

I did a View Source and confirmed that tags like <h3> are being passed through into the post.  I assume the problem is with a lack of styling in the templates and CSS for this blog.

Job Jar:

  • Capture some screen shots of the way the subheadings are appearing now, along with confirmation that the HTML does contain the heading markup.
      
  • Create a reasonable style for the additional heading levels on blog pages.

[update 2010-06-20T00:31Z Using WLW, I am adding Movable Type to the categories of this post and republishing it.  In this case, WLW has its local copy.  There is more to accomplish in this area.]
