Full CSS support in Google Docs [Hack Your Day]
Google Docs has implemented a much awaited feature, the full use of CSS in documents. This essentially means that those of you versed in CSS can create great looking documents instead of black, white and grey ones.
Color and some format options were already available of course, but you can now specify borders, you can add divs with styling, create different types of lists in seconds. Since all this is implemented in CSS, you can just specify different classes for different types of content and then encase the specific contents in divs.
This means you will format your document once, which will take you 10 minutes, and after that formatting a whole blog of text will only take about 2 sends. Considering you may want a border, a different font, a different background color and font color, and underline and so on, this is a huge productivity jump.
You can also edit the html, so essentially Google Docs has become a HTML editor with a WYSIWYG option. Tihs is awesome in my opinion, I now have full control over the visuals of my documents, making me much more likely to use Docs instead of Word for example.
