compact |
This Boolean attribute hints that the list should be rendered in a compact style. The interpretation of this attribute depends on the user agent and it doesn't work in all browsers.
Usage note: Do not use this attribute, as it has been deprecated: the
<dir> element should be styled using CSS. To give a similar effect than the compact attribute, the CSS property line-height can be used with a value of 80% . |
