The layout is up to you. Space it out as you want.
If you use the GUI editor it will probably screw up the layout completely, it certainly won't produce something easy to follow if you then go back and play with the HTML.
Heartily agreed ... :)
It's one of the reasons that I never feel really comfortable writing HTML, there seems to be no really elegant way to format it. (I'm used to C/C++/Java which generally can be laid out elegantly)
Cue a 'how to format HTML' flame fest! :-) (I hope not)
Hmm .. I'm not going to get into the HTML debate(!) but it's worth pointing out, that the wiki syntax in use here is not meant to be HTML
- in fact, unless certain extensions are installed, vanilla HTML
simply won't work.
Yes, I'd sort of forgotten that we're talking about a Wiki here. Does the 'GUI Editor' produce HTML or Wiki markup?
Wiki pages can become very complex, if HTML is enabled and contributors who can't be bothered to learn the wiki syntax cram the pages full of <table> tags, for instance. That kind of HTML is also likely to ruin the usefulness of the GUI editor too, I would think.
Yes, I agree, stay with Wiki markup as far as possible.
It's certainly useful to know how HTML works, but that knowledge needs translating into wiki form to avoid bunging up the works ...
Yes, agree again.
