How do I get the table for ten largest cites?.

To make Praireland's presentation much more clear, I will put it in code format.

Code: Select all

[Table][tr][td]HEADER[/td][td]HEADER[/td][/tr][tr][td]Content 1[/td][td]Content 1[/td][/tr][tr][td]Content 2[/td][td]Content 2[/td][/tr][/Table]

Makes:

HEADER	HEADER
Content 1	Content 1
Content 2	Content 2

The code also works for gameside factbooks. And if you analyze the code, the td codes are always between tr codes, and the whole thing is between the table code. To make a whole new row, just add tr with td in it.

Tables in the forums look like that above, tables in factbooks look like this (Screenshot taken by me).

Oh, I forgot that term months ago, and code format isn't lame

[Prairieland]

I meant it in the "Today I Learned" context. I wasn't even aware of the "That is Lame" one posted at the bottom of the list.

Does anyone reckon I've done well here?

Oh, you got me again! Oh well, good thing you learned about it.

It's pretty nice.

Size tag the "preceded by" flags in your infobox.
Your flag looks awfully familiar...

My factbook (in my opinion) looks really good. I went pretty history crazy, took a lot of time and effort and mashed it into that. Still not 100% done, got a few sections to go.

[Todlichebujoku]

Go ahead and link mine if you'd like, under the heading of "Slavish Imitation of Wikipedia"

Down to Wikipedia's typeface changes (March 26^th or so), where the font of the headings was changed- but unfortunately I couldn't increase the size of the body text without blowing up the whole factbook.

(yes, I'm also Daskoxian, and I've found that writing content for an MT nation- however FanT it is- is easier than writing for an FT one, which explains why this one is more detailed)

Ooh, nice.

It looks fantastic as is, so I'm sure the finished product would look even better

Thanks. Lots of stats and info can get pretty tedious after a bit... x-x

Good job.

So far, I have updated my factbook a bit, can anybody check it out? Link is in my signature and you may ask me any questions regarding the formatting of the factbook.

Lots of info already, and it looks pretty good but a few more images would be nice, and it'd be better if the section headers were a little more pronounced (bolded or larger in size, etc).

Nah. I'd prefer it to be small and as little images as possible, but good suggestions.

[Britonisea]

Is there a list of wiki style factbooks?

Here is mine btw!

[Dendodgia]

I'd like to offer my formal commendations and thanks to Ponderosa for the excellent factbook code. It was very useful when making the Dendodgian National Factbook! Obviously things like the history still need to be fleshed out, but what do y'all think?

It looks nice. I'd remove the numbers, leaving them only for the contents box. That will make it flow like a Wiki entry.

edit: After pecking away at it for two days, is there anything that needs to be tweaked? Technocracy of Cerillium Factbook

I like yours. How do you do a table, 3 across, 8 down?

Thanks! A table is like this:

Code: Select all

[table]
[tr][td]Header 1[/td][td]Header 2[/td][td]Header 3[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Cell 1[/td][td]Cell 2[/td][td]Cell 3[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Cell 4[/td][td]Cell 5[/td][td]Cell 6[/td][/tr]
etc...
[/table]

Each pair of TRs is a table row, each TD is a piece of table data (an individual cell).

One of the pictures is overlapping with the table.

[tr][td]Cell 1[/td][td]Cell 2[/td][td]Cell 3[/td][/tr]

etc...

Thanks for your time.
