<p>CSS is used on HTML, not on text editors (unless the text editor
is<br>
built using an editable HTML view).</p>
<p>Composer stylesheets (officially called "themes" starting in
MMDC v 3<br>
for disambiguation) are not CSS. So this doesn't work. CSS is
only<br>
applied to the preview, not the editor.</p>
<p>I get that some people like screwing up perfectly good margins
by moving<br>
text into them, but I'm not a fan of this. :)</p>
<p>Composer does not support "hanging punctuation" at this
time.</p>

straight on composer stylesheets - I was definitely getting my css
together for that purpose which would have been a fruitless
pursuit.</p>
<p>I'm surprised to hear that you're more concerned about the
typographical hygiene of margins over text body - I think it has
been standard typographical practice to hang punctuation for
newspapers, magazines, and books for quite a long time now,
particularly because it allows the eye to lead down the page more
accurately towards the text that it is processing. With that said,
I'm a big fan of composer overall and am happy to defer to the
developer's preferences. Just consider this a permanent vote for
this feature to be added to a theme when that becomes possible...

challenge (not because I think it's a good idea... ;)</p>
<p>An NSTextview is apparently not allowed to put any text outside
of the text container (outside the margin). So to do this, one has
to set a "fake" margin inside the actual margin. Obviously it's
possible, but it will require some other adjustments to make
printing work properly, auto zoom, etc. Plus, it
<strong>really</strong> looks funny when a header has a background
box, and the header lines are all different lengths (since
<code>###</code> has to be outdented further than
<code>#</code>).</p>
<p>For the moment any way, I'm not going to implement this.</p></div>Fletcher
