Hi :) I think it is widely agreed, by website designers, as being good practice to use percentages or proportional sizes rather than fixed sizes. Sadly they/we still often use fixed sizes because it's easier for them/us to understand. It's not just about font-height (although that is one critical factor) but also about 'screen'-size, or rather, how large the page is on the screen. People are going to expect to be able to skim through wiki's on hand-held devices (tablets, phones etc).
Is it possible to 'fix' the size of frames, in wikis, as a percentage of the screen-size or proportional to font-height? I think it is possible in html but i didn't even realise wikis could have frames at all. Wiki-markup/down tends to be 'simplified' html/css so that <h1>heading</h1> becomes = heading = and <h2>sub-heading</h2> becomes == sub-heading == So, i think the wiki 'coding' look less cluttered and is easier to read (or ignore or work-around) while just editing the contents. Some coders might say that is not important and having "yet another" mark-up/down just creates fragmentation and confusion but i think is fairly crucial that it is easier for non-coders to be able to read and edit contents. It might be an insult and a shock to some people but not all coders are much good at writing content and not all great documenters can cope with coding. Wiki allows un-coded content to look reasonably good and then other people can come along later and add or tweak the coding to improve the look of the page. To my mind it takes at least 2 people to make a wiki-page look good and be useful.

Many of us increase font sizes and badly done iframes cut off bits of the text. --Jean -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
