Subject: Text resizer
Hello

I think DokuWiki could benefit from a CSS text resizer, with the standard 'A-' and 'A+' buttons.  This is particularly useful in a corporate environment where accessibility is a legal requirement more than just a courtesy.

Any thoughts?

You are aware that resizing the text is a feature built into *all* modern browsers?

Yes, but why then do lots of sites provide resizers?

Because people love to play with technology.

That's a good question. Let me guess: Feigning accessibility in order to distract from the fact that their site is not really accessible? Simply copying this behaviour without thinking about it?
Maybe this article will give you some insight: http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200709/scrap_text_re…
