According to my reading of Chris Terran's StrongHelp CSS manual,
<p style="font: bold oblique sans-serif">
ought to be a shortcut for
<p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-weight: bold; font-style:
oblique">
However, the former doesn't seem to do anything for me in Netsurf,
whereas the latter does.
http://www.netsurf-browser.org/documentation/progress
states that implementation of 'font (shorthand)' is complete (with the
exception of the not-yet-implemented 'font-' variant), so have I got the
syntax wrong?

Best to use the spec. You can also use a CSS validator.
<p style="font: bold oblique sans-serif">
You must have the font-size then the font-familly after the other ones.
You omit the font-size.

The properties that can be set, are (in order): "font-style
font-variant font-weight font-size/line-height font-family"
The font-size and font-family values are required. If one of the
other values are missing, the default values will be inserted, if
any.

How awkward; I don't normally want to fiddle around with the font
*size*...
So what I want is "100%", presumably, to avoid altering it.
> <p style="font: bold oblique sans-serif">

You omit the font-size.
So, <p style="font: oblique bold 100% sans-serif"> should work...
and yes, it does. :-)

Is another good example.
(For anyone not familiar, http://w3schools.com is an excellent resource.
Whilst full explanations are not always there, examining their code -
maybe cutting and pasting - pays dividends. I say maybe because it
doesn't work with Netsurf it seems.)

The problem is with NetSurf replacing spaces with hard spaces.
Easily solved using, for example, !ConvText using a script line of the form:
[160]:[32] |This turns a hard space into a normal one
- or you could use your favourite text editor to search and replace.
It can be useful to have a display font which shows hard spaces differently
to check. A bit annoying, tho', for displaying news and mail from lazy
typers who catch the Alt key whilst typing spaces.

Okay, you can forget what I posted, which was wrong. A re-boot reinstated
NetSurf (r12443)'s ability to cut'n'paste and I have not noticed problems
with any hard spaces either.

Unintended hard spaces can be a nuisance. That is why RiscLua, for example,
parses hard spaces as spaces, along with tabs and newlines. Inside strings
and comments they are not translated.
