Re: The layout of the Compendium

Greetings everyone,

In our last episode, Funagain Games said:

        Ouch.  Have I really been that bad of late?

>I just realized that the better browsers (Netscape) can override page
colors, and print black text on a white background.

        IE does the same thing.  The newer browsers even support some CSS2
stuff, so I can control what gets printed and what doesn't.  I'm still
exploring this tech, and should have something soon.

>The only thing that makes the pages less printable are the <table> and
<blockquote> tags.  Pulling them out would be pretty easy, if you use
Notepad to edit the text.

        Ugh.  I really don't like notepad for HTML.  Also, I do my work
on my friends linux server, so I don't even *have* notepad there.

>Heck, I'd do it for you if you want.  And BtM doesn't really need any
changing.  The doccos you have there don't have nearly as much left-hand
margin.  They print great as-is, while Compendium is almost half blank
space.  So, in short, I think there are only a couple things to tweak.
Let me know if I can help you out at all.

        Thanks for the offer, but I think I'll be fine.  I've already got
some of the prototype css files up and running on a play site.  I think the
results will be cool.
