h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

once again stef and yep i'll take on board your motto as your right i will get there in the end even if it does drive me nuts in the process

hey there peeps i need some more help please

i've been trying to add some colour to the text on my page and at the moment i'm not having much luck

i've been using [FONT COLOR="----"] and then ending with [/FONT] and i've put this after the and tag and also before those two tags and it still wont work so what am i doing wrong then?

someone help me if you can please.

i'm rather perplexe there..

unless it is because you've put your text before and/or after and instead of between and

that's the only idea my brain can come out with at the mo'... then again it's early in the morning

does that help?!...

loup

Using < > instead of [ ] would help.

SEF.... yep...



bryan... wrong thread methinks... we have a thread for announcements etc in the quotes section... this one is _not_ the announcements thread...

loup

Loup...

Its a great site if you are Anti-Dubya Bush

no loup i've got my and tags in the right order and i thought you could'nt use the <> tags when doing the colours as i was told to use the [] one's the last time.

anyway guys for your help and i'll give it another go with the <> tags tomorrow and see if that works this time

night all

10 points for SEF then...

the < > have to be used all the time for the GuideML code... it seems that the problem is solved...

nil point for me for thinking/assuming that the [ ] hadn't been used in the first place..



loup

awwwww loup don't as your input was still valuble and yes 10 points to sef as i've just had a little go using those <> tags and it works now

so sef

Good Morning Please tell me how to do lists in Guideml as in:
a. Here is a list

Thanks

kat

do you mean a drop down list?

Manda has a great page at A1023102 with the guideML on it

Mort

There are numbered (= ordered) and un-numbered lists.


this will be number 1
this will be number 2



this will be a bullet point
this will be another bullet point


Perhaps those are the sort you want.

Thanks SEF but will those work for a text list as I have wrtten down below:

a) This is a list
b) This is a list
c) This is a list

kat

In real HTML the ordered list can have different type options. The one you want would be:


list item marked 'a'
list item marked 'b'


I haven't tested that in GuideML though.

& if the "type=" thing doesn't work you can just use unordered lists & input the letters at the start of the recognised text. ie:

a) 1st bit
b) 2nd bit
...

They'll be preceded by bullets but they should still align correctly.

& going back to HTML (sorry, this'll be the last time, honest ) How do you align images in CSS? Does "text-align" do the job, even though it's not really "text"?

The 2 things are slightly separate. In HTML you would say

but only really need the quotes round LEFT and / in GuideML and similar.

If you are also including an explicit CSS file or block, of course those definitions will affect the HTML. The text-align property is meant to cover block level tags such as . Since an IMG can go in a paragraph it will affected to some extent merely by being there. However, you should probably be looking more at box properties such as margin-left and margin-right. The default or auto settings are to make the image centred.

Apologies to everyone else for whom that last bit was completely irrelevant. You can quite happily ignore it without worrying because you don't need it here.
