iLife considered huge

So, I want to try out iWeb, but it needs 10GB to install iLife, so I need to find myself a bigger hard disc.

Update, midnight. I formatted an 80GB partition, installed Tiger, and iLife is just finishing. Meanwhile, Niall made an iWeb blog.

The markup is rather eccentric. What it reminds me of is Google's PDF to HTML translation, though Pages does something similar - mapping a very non weblike layout model into the web crudely. Look at this page's source:
<div><div><div class="Normal"><div class="paragraph Title_Red" style="line-height: 31px; padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; ">Hamlet</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
full of sound and fury, signifying nothing?
Or how about the blank verse:
<div class="paragraph Footer" style="line-height: 16px; padding-top: 0pt; font-family: 'Times-Roman', 'Times', 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">'Tis sweet and commendable in your nature, Hamlet,</div>
<div class="paragraph Footer" style="line-height: 16px; font-family: 'Times-Roman', 'Times', 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">To give these mourning duties to your father:</div>
<div class="paragraph Footer" style="line-height: 16px; font-family: 'Times-Roman', 'Times', 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">But, you must know, your father lost a father;</div>


If only there were an HTML element that meant 'paragraph'...

Kevin Marks: @catehstn @juliaferraioli I recently discovered that html has <details><summary> and that (most) browsers make them expandable without js
