Maybe the "floatleft" code should be outside the box?

Maybe the "floatleft" code should be outside the box?

Tested and proven. Switch the codes, it should be good.

Mind I note that the HR BBCode only works when there is an end HR code as well.

Code: Select all

On the forums, yes, but game-side coding only requires the opening tag.

I should add a disclaimer that the templates only work on the gameside factbooks.

Hi, i am having issues with formatting my factbook
I have actually 2 issues:
1) The linking to the topics don't work. I used the code that was provided in the first page, but it does not work. Maybe some of you know what i am doing wrong.
This is my code of the content table:

It took long for the human race to make the first step in the lands of Alahana. These people came from the north, through the Iron Mountains. These were tribes that were driven off their lands by hostile tribes.




2) if you would see to my factbook (link provided in the first line) then you'll see that my table is droped all the way down the right box. Is there a way to make it fit so it can go right behind the title? This is the code used for the table:

Code: Select all

Alahana:

You have an extra "1" at the end of your factbook url. make sure the id at the end of the factbook is "id=124109" not "id=124109[color=red]1[/url]".

As for the table, I don't quite follow what the problem is. Can you explain where you want the table to go?

Well if you see my factbook you see the he title of Administrative divisions. And then there is a large white area untill the table appears. This table is just under the right box with basic information. The table actually has to go right below the title, without the large blank.

It looks fine to me. I'm using a laptop PC, with the Dark theme. Can you provide a screenshot? It might just be a problem on your end.

[Alahana]

[Ponderosa]

Looks more like this to me.

I don't know what the problem is, but it's on your end. Maybe try a different browser?

[Alahana]

Thats weird :S i just tryed each setting, and when i have dark selected it does the same.
the only setting that actually gives me what i want is mobile, but well i can't figure out how to do everything in that setting :S

, and antiquety comes close, and is okay to use, but well this is what i get then :S

==edit==
I've just changed the order of things so the table is not near the box

Despite searching through the forums, I cannot find how to calculate the NS version of the human development index. Can someone help me, please?

In the top right, there's a little box. Click it, and it will expand. Just scroll up until you find HDI.

Oh, thank you. I didn't realise it was a game mechanic, I thought it was a widely-adopted formula someone made up. cheers!
