in Show Off June 2009

I'll jump on this train I suppose. My new campaign, "Sanction of the Athar":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/sanction kicked off this past weekend, and while there's still a lot of material to add there content wise, I've been making an effort…

in Print Media Style Sheet June 2009

Looking at the site's code, I see you're using a print media style sheet, which is great. Unfortunately, while it makes some significant changes to the look of the page for printing, it really doesn't do a whole lot for the overall printability. Wit…

in Help with HTML Tables June 2009

That looks solid man - well done. Glad I could help. :)

in Help with HTML Tables June 2009

It looks like the problem you have here is some missing tags. Specifically: * Missing an opening _tr_ tag in your first nested table * Missing the closing _table_ tag for the first nested table * Missing both closing _td_ and closing _tr_ tags …

Forum formatting is all wonky, so "check out my test page":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/sanction/wikis/test-page for examples of the two approaches. Have a look at the code examples on there, and try out whichever approach strikes your fan…

in Colspan and Rowspan Attributes May 2009 edited December 2009

*Where:* Wiki (General) *Errors:* None *Browser:* Irrelevant (Server Side Issue) *Bug Description* When user submitted HTML code contains _td_ tags with the _colspan_ or _rowspan_ attributes, those attributes are removed from the code when i…

in Rowspan and Colspan attributes on tables May 2009

A wholehearted second to this. It seems like an oversight that these aren't allowed by default.
ChainsawXIV
in Help with HTML Tables May 2009

You actually already solved it in your code here, but upon further investigation the problem is that Obsidian Portal's system is culling out the _colspan_ attribute for some reason. I can't fathom why that would not be allowed, so my guess is that i…

No worries. Give me an example of what you've got and I should be able to point you in the right direction.

in Help with HTML Tables May 2009

You look to be off to a good start! Don't worry that OP makes it look funny for now - OP applies a pile of default CSS styling to everything, including tables and their cells. When you start setting up your own stiles a bit further down the line the…

in Help with HTML Tables May 2009

Creating a table this complex (and having it come out actually looking like your example) will certainly require some HTML. Rather than do it for you however, let me point you to a few examples and tutorials that should get you well on your way to d…

in Those Fancy Header Lines May 2009

Wikipedia does it automatically. I haven't seen anything on here that does the same unfortunately. You can construct it by hand using anchors however. Place an anchor in your content where you want to scroll to like so: Then on the same page …

The _hr_ (horizontal rule) tag is what you want:

Absolutely - sorry I misunderstood there. The _text-indent_ CSS property should get the job done for you: Your text here...

in Spacing May 2009

Textile is rather odd about the way it handles and requires line breaks. I've noticed that a lot of the textile code I've tried to use fails completely if it's not on a new line, and because Textile 'cleans up' the white space in what you input, tha…

in Text wrap and images and more! May 2009

Here's how you can do this with some very basic HTML. Some of this is probably possible via Textile too, but I find that doing it this way is more flexible and powerful. Easier too. To position an image to the left or right of your text on the pa…

in Factions tab May 2009

This would be pretty easy to accomplish with the basic Wiki functionality really. Just create a page for each faction, that details all their common information, and then include a link to the appropriate faction pages in the description of each NPC…

in D&D4e Character sheet template May 2009

I just posted the update version of the "Character Sheet Maker":http://omnichron.net/external/op/tools/csm.html I promised above. Here's what changed: - New cleaner, faster code design loads faster and works better - You can now use HTML tags (b…

I don't think mine ever took more than half an hour. That's definitely not normal.

in available fonts? May 2009

I don't know of a way to change fonts using textile, but you can style your text to use any "commonly available web font":http://www.ampsoft.net/webdesign-l/WindowsMacFonts.html using inline CSS formatting, like so: This text will be in Arial f…

in D&D4e Character sheet template May 2009

I really want to support what the guys over at Dungeonmastering are doing - they've created some great tools, and made them available to everyone (mostly) for free - so I don't plan to put up any tools that compete with what they're doing. It'd be r…

in Premium Map File Size May 2009

Perhaps it's a bug, or perhaps it's an undocumented feature, but I found out that you actually _can_ upload larger files than it says you can. I was able to upload a 4096x4096 version of my map, with lower compression that weighed in above the liste…

in Linking halfway down a page. April 2009

I just tried it to be sure, and both _Anchor_ tags and the _Name_ attribute are supported. With this, you can create on-page anchors just like normal: Go Here ...Here there be content...

in Special charatcers in Adventure Logs screw up wiki linking? April 2009

I poked at this a little bit, and found a related problem. If you create a new wiki page, and edit the Name field to include a special character (for example, pasting in "Episode 1: Blah blah blah" from Gyftofthewyrm's post) there doesn't seem to be…

in Float and Tables April 2009

You can just add that to the Style attribute of the table tag, actualy. You may also need to add "border-style:solid;" to make it appear correctly - can't test it at the moment.
ChainsawXIV
in Float and Tables April 2009

You've got all the HTML you need actualy, and it's a good thing because I don't think we can solve this one without it. The reason this isn't working for you is that by default, tables are set to have 100% width. When you float the table, it expands…

Are you trying to do this with Textile markup, or regular HTML?
ChainsawXIV
in Map size issues April 2009

There's nothing wrong with either from a technical standpoint. The system re-samples the image you put in to a fixed size for each zoom level, so the dimensions of your original image have no bearing what so ever on the size the image will appear in…
ChainsawXIV
in Map size issues April 2009

As far as I can tell, the starting zoom level of the maps is sized so that the map fills the window with a little bit of margin space, regardless of the original map resolution. Normally, you can only zoom out from there. The two additional zoom lev…

in D&D4e Character sheet template April 2009

I added a few more handy templates to my "template page":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/sanction/wikis/templates if anyone is interested. I also updated the "power card builder":http://omnichron.net/external/op/tools/pow.html with some new …
