<h1>CSS2 Specification Plan</h1>
9+
We will base the CSS2 specification on the HTML 4.0 specification in
10+
several ways:
11+
<ul>
12+
<li>The structures will be similar (see below)
13+
<li>Much of the information will be generated from markup (indexes,
14+
links to property definitions from the text, table of contents,
15+
subtables of contents for each chapter, etc.) Ian will work with
16+
Arnaud to adapt the HTML 4.0 binaries and makefiles to CSS2.
17+
</ul>
18+
19+
<P>The CSS2 specification will be written in some "clean" version of
20+
HTML 4.0. Style sheets for the spec will be linked via the
21+
LINK element.
22+
23+
<h2>What's in CSS2?</h2>
24+
25+
CSS2 will be created by integrating the following documents or later
26+
versions of them:
27+
28+
<ul>

<li><a href="http://www.w3.org/Style/Group/TR/WD-print-970626.html">WD-print-970626.html</a>

<h2>Table of Contents</h2>
38+
39+
<P>Here's a preliminary proposal for the tables of contents. The lines
40+
with asterisks are notes from discussions. Entries in square brackets
41+
are optional sections to be discussed further. Entries in curly
42+
brackets will be generated from source markup.
43+
44+
<P>Please comment on missing pieces.

<h2>The implementation of the spec</h2>
146+
The source files of the specification will be located in the following
147+
CVS module: <strong>WWW/Style/Group/css2-src</strong>.
148+
149+
<P>This module will contain the following subdirectories:
150+
<ul>
151+
<li><strong>DOC</strong> Contains documents for editors:
152+
<ul>
153+
<li>README: How to create the electronic and printed versions of the
154+
spec and how to install it in the public space of the
155+
Web site. The <tt>Makefile</tt> in the toplevel
156+
directory will specify how the spec is created.
157+
<li>CONVENTIONS: Conventions adopted by the editors of the spec (e.g.,
158+
quotes around property names, markup to use for
159+
generated links, etc.
160+
<li>FILES: The list of files that compose the specification. This list
161+
will be used by the process that generates the final
162+
spec in all its forms.
163+
</ul>
164+
<li><strong>bin</strong> Contains scripts and programs to build the
165+
spec from source files.
166+
<li><strong>build</strong> Contains files (indexes, headers,
167+
etc.) generated to build the spec.
168+
<li><strong>images</strong> Contains image files
169+
<li><strong>style</strong> Contains style sheets associated with the
170+
spec.
171+
</ul>
172+
173+
<P>All other source files, having the suffix ".srb", will be located
174+
in the toplevel directory. These files will contain HTML 4.0 plus any
175+
macros (to be defined) that may generate HTML during processing).
176+
177+
<h2>Milestones</h2>
178+
<ul>
179+
<li>First draft for CSS WG: August 20
180+
<li>Recommendation: mid-December
