Hi All,
I'm not the best with HTML, but I use it as imperfect as it is. I'm not very familiar with CSS coding, but am willing to try. My program can use it.
I'm looking for a way to make a gap in a single line. It's for use in a family tree and I'm needing lots of space between names and such. This text would include color and bold commands....
It's in the same line, but needs large spaces between words at times. I don't like using thousands of the " " commands as it's not only sloppy but so time consuming and ugly in code.
I don't think this will work using tables and such, but thought there might be a code for making a large gap in the text.... maybe one where I could set he particular distance I'm wanting?
Just what does the <pre> command mean....? I tried the <pre> command it and put it my HTML at two places. Where there's only text, it changes text from my Ariel to Times New Roman..... is this normal.... that's ok if I really MUST go that way.
I also tried it where I formatted the text for color and bold, and it seems to remove any and all HTML formatting, as well as the text itself. I suppose the "pre" command mean pre, or before, formatting; or some such idea.
It would be nice to have a command for a space, like the " " command, but with a variable that would allow setting the specific width of the space. Like a table... with a table, one can set how wide they want that table and it stays that wide, no matter how large the browser is. Is there such a critter?
So far, it looks like I'll be using Times New Roman in basic black, huh? <grin>
Any ideas for giving me my spaces without all the thousands " " commands I'd need?You can style <pre> tags using CSS. However, that sort of defeats the purpose of using the <pre> tag. The <pre> tag is usually used for denoting code snippets, not complex layouts. (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.htmldog.com/reference/htmltags/pre/">http://www.htmldog.com/reference/htmltags/pre/</a><!-- m -->)
The type of layout you're talking about, if implemented, would probably involve some advanced CSS skills using floats and both block and inline lists.
You might take a look at this program: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.gedhtree.com/gedhtree.htm">http://www.gedhtree.com/gedhtree.htm</a><!-- m -->
It marks up the family tree for you. The markup isn't that great, but if you're not concerned about that sort of thing, it's a good alternative to try.
KDLAI've been using Legacy to record our family history. However, my 30 years of research has gained me over 5500 names spanning several milleniums. I have about 200 names over about 100 generations that I'm wanting to provide for my grand-children as a means of seeing much of who is in their history. This program gives only 4 generations.... but what I'm wanting to give is a view of all generations....
They can do all kind of other stuff, but sadly, they can't come up with a variable space.... <grin>
