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

[The Greater Aryan Race]

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.

You left out [/size] in the line above Demographics.

Oh wow that was very stupid of me. Thanks so much though!

I used this guide, makes for a very nice looking factbook!

It's neat and tidy, something that I like Could use with a couple more images though, especially that first bit, seems like a wall of text. A table of contents or some sort of navigation would be helpful, and the history section could also use with a bit of sprucing up imo.

Here's mine. I think I'm doing good; It's still under construction. Suggestions welcome!

This is mine. It's mostly finished, but I wouldn't mind some feedback.

Good start. I recommend adding a "Contents Box" for easier navigation, however.

I need some feedbacks on mine as well. I thought of adding more images but it's just gonna clutter things up more.

Not bad. There are plenty of images after Government, but it wouldn't hurt to add more images before that. Try it out and see how it looks. If you don't like it, you can delete it. Who knows? Maybe it will look nicer with more images.

I need to ask a question. Can we download an image from internet and use it in our factbook? I mean I always write at the end of my dispach that image is not mine and that image is downloaded from internet.

I'm quite sure everyone does.

Most people don't write a disclaimer, though it can't hurt.

Ok thanks

Just a note, you will have to find a website to host said image. You cannot hot link it directly from your computer.

A question - how should factbooks about the armed forces (equipment and such) be laid out? Examples of good military factbooks may help.

Hey all!

Quick technical question for you, if anyone can help. I was trying to make a table, and for some reason my columns automatically going to a weird size. Please look at this.

Does anyone know how to make the first column wider? Either a width command, or does anyone know how to use colspan in this format?

Feel free to comment on my factbook here as well. Thanks to the creators of the template!

I don't! My images are all original artwork.

I couldn't figure out how that part worked so I removed it, it didn't seem necessary to me anyway, my article isn't all that long, people can just scroll anyway.

You can use the tab code, it works for factbooks too:

The original

1	2222222222222222222222222222222

With tab

Code: Select all

[table][tr][td][tab=150][/tab]1[/td][td]2222222222222222222222222222222[/td][/tr][/table]

1	2222222222222222222222222222222
