Google Docs and CSS: Why not?
Posted on:: March 26th, 2007
I’ve been using Google Docs to write documents that are collaborative. It’s a good first gen product, and I enjoy using it, but it would take a giant step forward if it let me apply a CSS style sheet to the docs I’m composing.
This is such an obvious idea that there must be something obviously wrong with it. [Tags: google css wrong_in_public_again]

Here’s another “why not?” idea I had regarding Google Docs.
The problem:
The function “send this page to a friend” is usually not usable because the sender has to remember (or copy paste) the address of the friend.
The idea:
If a person is at a Google Docs document AND is logged in to her Google account, the Gmail address book is available for sending the link to her contacts.
Then it’d be cool like MySpace!
I completely agree. I have requested this feature via their help. What would also be sweet is if the output of Google Docs was XHTML 1.0 (or even better 1.1). I’ve noticed <font> tags in the markup.

The amount of stuff you could do with CSS would be limited unless they provided a way to set the class names on things. That UI would be non-trivial.
Mark, limited would be better than nothing.
And, if Google opened up Docs, I bet some clever and generous people would do the non-trivial work of adding a way of classing elements.
