-> One of the tricks to formatting seems to be to set things
-> up in a table... I made up a template table, one page long,
-> with 5 columns... I eliminated all the table lines. What
-> this does is to give you 4 levels of indentation which you
-> can move around to suit the layout you want. The only
-> thing I have to work with is Wordpro which will save as
-> HTML... I'm sure there are better tools, but this serves
-> for simple things.
SK>You must have something besides Wordpro to work with!
As you later suggest, I have lots of editors, but html has
the annoying habit of ignoring tabs, spaces, etc. Wordpro
displays html documents natively, and also allows editing.
SK>I've just been using Netscape. It has a built in editor, WYSIWYG
SK>type. I had no difficulty making any indentations that I wanted
SK>using the pulldown menus and tool bars.
The OS/2 version doesn't have all those abilities as yet..
It's basically 2.0 with some 3.0 extensions...
SK>Of course, if you really want to do it by coding the HTML from
SK>scratch, this maybe doesn't appeal to you?
It isn't so much that, one of the things we (some other
physics teachers and I) were doing this summer was to write
up some experiments using computer hardware. Of course the
writeup was easy enough: diagrams, headings, paragraphs,
graphs... THEN, we tried to get it into html to display on
the web... WELL... Everything was left-justified, fonts were
inappropriate, diagrams posed a problem, etc, etc. That's
where I got the process I mentioned above...
Anyway, if you're interested, you'll find my webpage at:
www.maristb.marist.edu/~jd566/@httpd/index.html
click on the teacher and student editions of the FREEFALL
experiment to see the result. Tell me what you think...
Plain text; maybe I'll fiddle with color, etc at some
point, but I just wanted it to look reasonable...
