Eh? Sure you can; it's called "generated content": http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/generate.html . (See, in particular, the :before and :after pseudo-elements.) Heck, it even has special support for using quotation marks of various descriptions!

They are lots of ways to incorporate Perl in HTML; people love reinventing certain wheels, and this is one of them. The Template Toolkit may be one of the better ways. I think HTML::Mason is also similar. Cheers, -- Philip Newton <philip.newton@...>
