Hi, Thanks for your observations, but I don't really understand how you expect me to fix it. I regret that none of your comments are any help as the example page is not editable.
I also note that even the sandbox page is slightly wider than the browser window resulting in a horizontal slider at the bottom of the screen. Poor HTML design again. I use a 1024 x 768 screen which is quite enough on a standard 17" screen. I must also say that this new wiki is not particularly user friendly. Yes, one can get used to it, but there is plenty of wiki software out there that is intuitive. Hey Ho, I'll struggle on, but all these hurdles are depressing. Everyone seems so defensive on this project I am finding it is difficult to contribute as I am getting to the point where I am not sure I dare to comment for fear of another lashing or negative response. Kind regards, Andrew Ballantine -----Original Message----- From: Tim Ruppert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 24 January 2007 14:30 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Wiki issue I think the biggest reason that I would see is that some things wrap and are fine contextually - much of the time . . . command lines do not fall into this category. My recommendation on this one would be to get a shorter example, but wrapping can be a good way to go for sure.

Is there any reason not to do this? - Andrew On Wed, 2007-01-24 at 07:01 -0700, Tim Ruppert wrote: Andrew, I'm guessing hte problem that you're having with this is caused by two things: 1. You have quite a small viewable space in your browser 2. the svn diff of ShipmentServices is a bit wider than you have going on. #1 we can't help you with :) - #2 is probably something more in the way Confluence handles verbatim text. In this particulart case, we would have a few options: 1. Make the example path shorter 2. See where & why Confluence handles these this way. I'm guessing that it's easier to do #1, but maybe someone know why verbatim-esque things are handle this way. I checked a bunch of other wiki formats and they ALL pretty much handle them in a similar manner because it's just following what the user asked - to display something exactly the way that they see it. Anyways, I hope this helps explain the mystery.

Is it not possible to set the wiki HTML so that it always proportions the content to the current size of the window? The reason for the request is that it quite difficult to read a long document with having to constantly shift the window from side to side. An example of this is: http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/OFBiz+Contributors+Best +Practices I am using Firefox 2.0.0.1 on Windows2000 if that makes any difference. Internet V6 does the same.
