Need help with fic formatting!!
Tuesday, May 30, 2006

Hi -

Any html experts out there? I need to do a few formatting things with my fic, and I've tried playing around with html and bad things happen!

The things I want to do are:

Have indented, single spaced paragraphs, like for quoted verse (as in poetry verse, not uni-verse :p)

Right justified paragraphs.

Tables. I've tried putting in tables, but it changes the font of the text in the table into something big and annoying, ahh! I really want a tabbed environment, and I thought a table could do it.

Someone in the pet peeve thread mentioned there's a mouse-over tag that could be used to show the definition of chinese characters?? I'd love to be able to do this!

Please please help! Thanks!

Can't help with any of the others, but I do know the mouseover technique.

< span title="what the Chinese means" > Chinese < /span > You can also use the word acronym instead of span. Acronym puts a line under the Chinese in Firefox, span doesn't. The only space you should have in the html is between span & title.

I've been told this doesn't work with Macs, so in addition to doing the mouseover, I've taken to also listing the definitions at the end.

Good luck!
