Automatic Pullquotes
September 30th, 2006 by Jerome DahdahRoger Johansson of 456 Berea Street has created a nice little script for automatic pullquotes. It’s incredibly simple to implement and uses unobtrusive JavaScript which means there are no accessibility issues. What is also nice about it is that the text is not duplicated in your html, and when you no longer want pullquotes, just turn off the script… so you don’t have to edit your old posts.
Update: A quick google search brought up this 2 year old article. So it’s been done before, however Roger’s script is a bit more advanced.
