Condensing/Extending Type

Is there a way?

[markd]

Hi everyone

Can anybody tell me if there is a way to either 'condense' or 'extend' type using CSS?

A bit like a classic QuarkXpress sort of approach by adding horizontal scale attributes to type to condense it 20% or extend it by a similar value.

Many thanks

do you mean

p{
letter-spacing:2px;
}

type of thing?

<added> but that doesnt actually scale, just spreads it out a bit

Thanks benihana

It was less about letterspacing or wordspacing and more about actually extending the type itself - say by 120% of its standard width.

Can this be done?

CSS2 offers font-stretch (wider, condensed, expanded, etc . . . .) but it doesn't appear to be supported by the browsers.
