I love this plug-in. It's super easy to use and the styling out-of-the-box makes my articles look fantastic. Thanks!
It is ok plugin with most of the browsers but.....
Not with IE and for me it is still 70% of my users.
I cannot check them all...
I just do not recommend it...

I am not an expert, but I tried this plugin (the alert, the info and the quote ones) in Fire Fox 3.5.3 and Internet Explorer 8 (without any compatibility)
Whereas in FF I did not have any issue at all, in IE8 I got some problems easily solved when I loaded the strings without bold characters.
I think it works in both explorers fine. Sorry if I am wrong.

This is such a simple plugin that it is too good to be true. Works beautifully and is so easy.
I encourage the developers to add the following:
- Rounded boxes with space for headings (in a different color) and a list where the box will have a separate color.
- Modules so that separate types of css of the same style can be added
This rocks

It's a good plugin but I've found a problem with IE7 and {xtypo_roundedX}. This problem is that when you leave a page showing this tip and go to another window and later return the focus to the original one the boxes loose the right margin and the content inside the boxes blows up. Nevertheless in firefox works very well and this problems does not apear.
I have used Xtypo for a while and it is a fantastic plug in for those who need beautiful CSS in articles. Installation is simple. Using the code is even easier.
The developers provide a very useful list of style examples in the plug in. You just copy and paste the syntax into your article and voila, it works.
After some trial and error, and checking the forums, I found out that IE7 renders the code differently than FF. Some styles work in both browsers (quotes), while other styles seem to generate problems with IE7(rounded boxes) - or perhaps it is better to say that IE7 is creating the problems, because it works with FF.
The solution is incredibly simple: When you copy and paste the code from the examples in the plug in, the typo coding syntax is in bold characters. This seems to be a problem for IE7. Just make sure the code you place in your article is not in bold and the styles work in FF and IE7!!!
Two thumbs for the developers.

This is a very good plugin to make it easier for inserting special typographic blocks in the article content.
Thanks to the author, hope you will add more styles and icon images to make it more beautiful.

It really is great for someone such as myself with limited CSS knowledge - if you're happy enough to configure it's features then it'll do a great job for you!
Two points: there are differences between IE7 and FF2, but that's life! Also, I would like to be able to configure the text size for the xtypo_quotes, is that possible and if not, is there any reason why this cannot be implemented?

I've installed this on two sites, and can't say enough about it. Extremely simple to use out of the box with the default parameters, but broad configuration options let you completely customize the appearance of the styled type if you're after a particular look and willing to take some time to play with it. I'm especially a fan of xtypo_quote insert, which is a great graphic tool for breaking up type-heavy pages or emphasizing specific take-away points from a long piece.
