Help talk:Text boxes

Part of Bill's musings regarding tables
(Original was on my talk page - Robin Patterson 00:01, 8 November 2006 (UTC)) I've tried the wikitable approach, and semi rejected it (regretfully) as it's (a) not transportable to other enviroments (should one be so inclined) and (b) very odd to someone not working the wiki a lot. I figure people will have a hard enough time if I leave it in standard HTML, let alone in WikiTable.---... I've taken some steps to simplify the HTML coding---deleting terminal cell and row tags---not needed if everything is spread out as is done in these tables.---only need this if you try to put several cells on the same line.

A MUCH better approach would be if the wiki allowed text boxes, etc. Then you could create stuff on the fly without having to fiddle with the HTML. Something for a future project perhaps. Rather have the wiki people do it for us, though---they're the ones with this kind of expertise.


 * OK, where are the wiki specialists? Maybe it's time to try to get this site on the Central Wikia Featured list or http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Collaboration_of_the_month/vote. Robin Patterson 00:32, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
