[IxDA Discuss] different link formats in one page

[Bryan]

We struggle with this where I work, in our corporate portal, whose pages
tend to be chock-full of links with very little body content.  We currently
enforce underlines via the stylesheet, but we have begun relaxing the rules
for pages just full of links.  The rule we try to follow is:  In a list of
links with no content text in between, it's ok to remove the underlines.
Links interspersed with text must be underlined.  If we managed all content
and development centrally, I would love to relax the rules even more, as
long as links are always clearly distinguishable.  However, with thousands
of content authors, we're trying to keep the standards simple.

Subject: [IxDA Discuss] different link formats in one page

Hi all -

Wondering if anyone has done any research on using different formats  
for links in one page.  in the page I'm working on right now, I'm  
thinking of underlining all links, but having some be red only on  
rollover (otherwise black), whereas the ones I'd particularly like to  
emphasize are red to start.

The black ones are all part of a long list, so contextually it seems  
to be much clearer that they are links.  Or so I would think at least.

Any opinions appreciated.

Thanks -

Michael
