I used the <small> element (it is in HTML5 anyway), but doesn't make much of a difference. Not all projects have a homepage link. In those cases it looks a bit strange. > 2. Increasing the vertical padding between each item will also help. This I still have to figure out how to do nicely. An additional <br/> seems a bit much. Help appreciated :) > 3. If you do 1 and 2, you probably don't need the bullets. I've removed the bullets and made the columns less wide. I still need to right align the icons. Not sure how to do that nicely. Help appeciated :) > I've done a _very_ rough mockup to show you what I mean [1]. Much appreciated! I've updated the example to look a bit closer (not fully, having some issues) to your mockup. Suggestions (with HTML/CSS :P ) welcome. One thing I forgot to mention: DOAP allows for multiple 'icons'. You can have multiple homepages (it'll only link to the 1st one), as well as multiple mailing lists, etc. So I cannot really have all the icons exactly the same I think.. except if I start using tables. I guess it doesn't really matter.

For now I've just linked directly to them, which makes the HTML a bit massive. Also, I'd like to only show projects which either have a homepage/buglink/mailing list or a download page. But my XSLT skills are a bit lacking for that. I can make it work with the current modules, but want it ok in the theoretical case. -- Regards, Olav -- marketing-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
