X51 Posted October 29, 2022 Author Clone Share Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) And we're off! Let me know if you find the styling too garish on that post. ETA: I know it's not super great on mobile, but I don't really wanna prioritize mobile for formatting.

Krimsin Posted October 30, 2022 Clone Share Posted October 30, 2022 Baldr's formatting is still giving me conniptions. Copying and pasting anything is an absolute chore, and deletes half its own content if i fail to click in the exact right place. Nested spoiler tabs are the worst for this, as once a single spoiler is put in, there seems to be no room for a second? It just refuses. I'm not sure my browser wants to work with it, it's probably optimized for chrome or something.

X51 Posted October 30, 2022 Author Clone Share Posted October 30, 2022 Yeah, I've definitely made it a habit to make several extra lines whenever I'm dealing with tables or spoilers, just so there's room to work. I'm using Firefox, myself. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dybrar Posted October 30, 2022 Clone Share Posted October 30, 2022 I am having the loveliest of times trying to put together a template for my IC posts. 😛 Though I'm editing the source HTML directly for much of it, which may or may not be making it worse.

X51 Posted October 30, 2022 Author Clone Share Posted October 30, 2022 I've personally had a decent time just using the visual editor. It's really just been about giving myself plenty of room for error that can be more easily cleaned up. Tables have been a focus for my bits, clearly.

Couch Potato Rex Posted October 30, 2022 Clone Share Posted October 30, 2022 Hrmm. Mostly copied, but just when I think I have a handle on format something doesn't quite work. I've mostly fixed my post so it's readable. Now I just gotta polish it up, but the meat is there.

emceeBeatdown Posted October 30, 2022 Clone Share Posted October 30, 2022 Yeah it's much easier with the markup style formatting on mythweavers than on here. I think if the source had a better html editor it would be easier to work with. Nothing is worse than doing HTML on a plain white Notepad because it's not as immediately obvious where the elements are.

zazamz12 Posted October 31, 2022 Clone Share Posted October 31, 2022 Sorry for being silent, y'all! Been swamped with midterms, haven't had much free time. How did y'all do that pip-boy screen for your posts? That's seriously amazing! Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did y'all do that pip-boy screen for your posts? That's seriously amazing! The magic of tables! Mine is two tables, each 1000 pixels wide. The top one is 1x1, bottom is 2x1. If you press Ctrl+right click on the table, it brings up a context menu. Go to Cell > Cell Properties, and that will let you add a background color to the cell. I did mine borderless (Ctrl+RMB > Table Properties, set border size to 0), but I really like how Dybrar's came out. He set the border size to 5.

Figuring out what sorts of CSS options were available involved a fair bit of googling, but in the end they proved quite useful. (And unfortunately are not universally available via the browser editor, it seems, though maybe that'd be asking too much.)

LarsWester Posted November 2, 2022 Clone Share Posted November 2, 2022 Wow guys I have a lot to read and catch up on. I'll be posting either late tonight or tomorrow.

X51 Posted November 2, 2022 Author Clone Share Posted November 2, 2022 No worries! I've recently been having issues with not getting updates on my games, myself, so I've just resorted to checking them far too frequently.
