Guide to a Wiki-Style Factbook, Embassies, and Consulates

Apparently spoilers for the RMB and factbooks are a thing now: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=319708
(I've tested it out on the sidebar here: http://www.nationstates.net/nation=fede ... /id=197755)

I didn't know it was also for factbooks. That's cool. Don't think I'll use it much though.

I know boredom is an awful disease. Hey, I actually have a cure for it.

Go do something!

After skimming through it, it seems alright.

I suggest putting those images in a box and making them floatright or floatleft though.

I created this for an RP:

The floatright was working perfectly, but for some reason it's not now. Any thoughts?

Just so you know, you missed an e in "Belligerents"!

Hey, if anyone cares, I found an invisible character online that can create the spaces necessary to make an entry look more like a real wiki page. Hence my adapted entry, here. (Yes, I edited it a bit to fit a person) It works fine for me, so I assume others might want to see if it works for them as well. There's a small block in the spoiler, to copy, paste, shorten, lengthen, etc. Obviously it looks invisible, but run your cursor and it should light up.
Tip: Trying to save the character in a Word document or something similar will only turn it into a regular space, and thus when trying to re-copy it from said document, it will not have the same effect. I recommend immediately using it in one factbook so you can always go back and copy it.

                   

                                                        
                                     
                    
                
                   

Let me know if any problems or if, for whatever reason, we shouldn't have this.

A very interesting find. So far I've been using a white coloured period to add in blank spaces, but this would be much quicker to put in. I wish the code would register spaces though, it would make things so much easier.

Well if you want to have some extra spaces, you can use [tab].
Not sure how it'll work across lines, though.

Interesting. This could be useful in communiqués in RPs as well.

I didn't even know that code worked here, TIL

Thanks! I've been wanting to do that for a while!

Seems like I'm seeing a lot of good factbooks floating around the NS world now

How's mine? It's in the sig, obviously.

You could always use [tab=number] to make spaces also. It's what I do, and it's fairly useful.

It's probably just me, but I think it's too crowded.

How, exactly?

[Federation of Trelatche]

How, exactly?

I didn't even notice the [tab] button up until a few days ago, but it apparently it works like this:

Code: Select all

You can [tab=150][/tab] indent

You can indent

Yeah, I used it a lot in my factbook infobox.

Some amazing work. Elykyellek's is terrific.

Hey guys, I'm having some problems with my factbook coding, especially the "Demographics" heading. In particular, the heading won't expand in size even when I key in the relevant code. Could someone help me out on this? Many thanks.
