In Opera's implementation, the author does not specify the size of the output medium or where page breaks go. The browser will automatically lay out the content it finds room for given the constraints of the device. If there isn't room for all the content, new pages will be created. These can be accessed with PgDn/PgUp, gestures, or by controls added through JavaScript.

Submission + - IE8 breaks web standards promise

In March, Microsoft announced that their upcoming Internet Explorer 8 would: use its most standards compliant mode, IE8 Standards, as the default. Note the last word: default. Microsoft argued that, in light of their newly published interoperability principles, it was the right thing to do. This declaration heralded an about-face and was widely praised by the web standards community; people were stunned and delighted by Microsoft's promise. This week, the promise was broken.

His company, Wikia, today announced three open-source magazine-style sites where users can write about news, opinion and gossip — one magazine wiki each for politics, entertainment, and local interests. Each open-source magazine hands total editorial control to the readers, allowing them to read, write, edit, and dictate the editorial feel for each topic.
