[2.0 RC3] margin and padding shorthand notation

[Sverre]

I haven't followed development/the Bugtracker lately, but in case this hasn't been mentioned yet (a quick search didn't pull up any results), there is a large number of instances (in index.css) where the shorthand notation for these properties could be simplified. For example:

Code Select Expand

#smileyBox_message
{
   margin: 0.75em 0 0.5em 0;
}

could be simplified to:

Code Select Expand

#smileyBox_message
{
   margin: 0.75em 0 0.5em;
}

Also, a decision should probably be made regarding the notation of decimal length values between zero and one, so you avoid mixing the notations with the zero included and omitted.

Here's an example where the leading (superfluous) zero has been omitted:

Code Select Expand

.post_verification
{
   margin-top: .5em;
}

Interesting!

Thank you for the ideas. I think they may be worth looking into, time permitting. We are a bit constrained on that one.

Sorry for necro-posting but I am moving this as I know Antechinus and others are keeping this in mind when they make CSS changes.

Thanks, Sverre
