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

[Moscareinas]

Dunno if this is the right place for this (obviously I didn't read the 40-plus pages of this thread), but I took the template of the table of contents from here and for some reason not everything is as it should be.

Any tips on how to rectify this?

Make sure the [floatleft] tags on the table of contents box is outside of the [box] tag.

If the box tag is outside of the floatleft, only the text will be "floating left", with the box as normal.
If the floatleft is outside of the box, the text and the box will float left

Fun fact: on the forum, having tags arranged one way at the beginning of a text block (say you have floatright on the outside and box on the inside) but arranged another way at the end (floatright on the inside and box on the outside) can cause the page to glitch

Ah, yes, it's fixed now! Thanks for the tip!

Is there a version which uses a format for things like wars?

I actually put one together. Perhaps I can provide a template?

Hi! I'm not sure where I should be asking this, but can any one help me remove the surplus "[/tr]" appearing above the table please?

Could you post the code in some [code] tags so I can see what's up? I suspect you just have one more [/tr] than you have [tr]s but it's been a while since I used game-side factbooks.

You seem to have missed a [tr] at Ms. Ida Cochran.

Dispatches can be seen with code when you add raw=1 to the URL, as in https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=678628/raw=1

Huh, now that's useful to know. Cool stuff, thanks.

Any suggestions or thoughts on my factbook so far?

I put one together for monarchs - I suppose it could be easily modified to allow for other types of leaders too. https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=31469088#p31469088

The text of my introduction can appear atop my sidebar, or below it, but not to the left of it. How do I fix this problem?

[Nautiliana]

This is a good factbook to use! I just edit some things to make it look even more wiki-like.

Try with the floatleft for the introduction text.

Didn't fix the problem unfortunately.

As soon as I am able to, I'll toy around with it.

This is my factbook that I'm working on https://www.nationstates.net/nation=neo-bolshevik_island/detail=factbook/id=840550.

BBcode apparently removes extra lines and spaces when displaying it. I tried to get around it by typing in periods on each line with color set to white, but is there a way to put in empty lines?

I wouldn't agree with doing that. just let the text go next to the box of contents.

That, or if he really wants to do it, each time you hit enter, type in the following:
