[Xastir] OSX Modifier keys.
Hi, I seem to have lost my Control key in Xastir on OSX, anyone come across this one before, even better, a solution? Also, unrelated question, is anyone else looking at dbfawk files for OSM with xastir. I think it's time I took another look at it.

[Xastir] MediaWiki and PRE tag

Re: [Xastir] MediaWiki and PRE tag
They don't appear to be extra blank lines (Firefox says both pages are using one line per line of text). However, it might be due to the style sheet declaring the lines taller for the Xastir Wiki versus the SourceForge one. In fact, checking the stylehseets (specifically the one being used called skins/modern/main.css) there is an entry for the PRE tag which is adding 0.4em of padding around the lines. Try changing that padding to zero and see what happens. --- On Sun, 1/31/10, Curt, WE7U curt.w...@gmail.com wrote: From: Curt, WE7U curt.w...@gmail.com Subject: [Xastir] MediaWiki and PRE tag To: xas...@xastir.org Date: Sunday, January 31, 2010, 2:36 PM Does anyone know why the MediaWiki on http://www.xastir.org puts extra blank lines between every line inside PRE/PRE tags, while the SourceForge MediaWiki does not?

Re: [Xastir] MediaWiki and PRE tag

skins/modern/main.css) there is an entry for the PRE tag which is adding
0.4em of padding around the lines. Try changing that padding to zero and see
what happens.
Not quite...
This section adds padding around the pre, not around each line:
main.css (line 1049):
pre {
background-color:#F0F0F0;
border:1px solid #3C78B5;
padding:0.4em;
}
Here is your culprit for the line spacing:
main.css (line 106):
#mw_content {
line-height:1.5em;
}
The sf stylesheet adds
pre {
line-height: 1.1em;
}
so normal paragraph spacing remains 1.5, but the pre line spacing is shorter.

I've used a couple of different sharing methods, including a kludge using pseudo TTYs shared with SOCAT so each machine appears to have its own KISS TNC all to itself, but am now sharing the TNC using ldsped, a Linux AGWPE-compatible server.
