      I draw a lot of inspiration from Tufte CSS (and borrowed several of their CSS perls) for the CSS of my own website. I really like the aesthetics.

        Same. We should form some sort of Tufte network. https://schmud.de

          Same lol. Add me to the “network”! 😄

        I used Tufte CSS on Scribe and I’ve gotten many complements on “my” design.

          HTML pedantry question!

          The page looks like this:

          <article>
          <h1>
          <section></section>
          
          <section>
          <h2>
          </section>
          
          <section>
          <h2>
          </section>
          </article>
          

          That is, the first section doesn’t have an h element, because the corresponding h belongs to the article.

          Is this the appropriate usage of section? MDN implies that sections should have titles…

            Doesn’t that link NOT say that? It even has a headingless example.

              Was to curt! MDN implies that sections should have titles in this usage:

              In a document, it doesn’t really make any sense to have a separate section of content without a heading to describe its contents.

          2. 2

            This does not discuss tables, which comes as a surprise, because Tufte’s books have beautiful tables.

            1. 1

              I remember being impressed by the not-foot-notes from https://lobste.rs/s/t4ssxd/speeding_up_rust_semver_checking_by_over.

              1. 1

                For anyone interested, I made a Jekyll theme based off Tufte CSS: https://et-jekyll.netlify.app/

                It includes minor changes for dark mode, tables, side notes on mobile/small screens etc. (see all HTML element examples here: https://et-jekyll.netlify.app/et-jekyll-theme/)
