Hello,
I really needed a way to add extra line spacing in bullet lists, so I hacked
my copy of wiki to put it in. I'm attaching a patch file in case anyone
wants to try it or critique it. I'd make a cookbook recipie, but fear there
exists a better way.
I'm using pmwiki-2.0.beta26. The issue is I want to add extra spacing to my
blocks, including bullet lists so that they space out a little bit (e.g.,
double space). There's a great example in WikiStyleExamples about using
%block ... % to set styles on block lists, but unfortunately, I can't find
an existing hook for the CSS property "line-height" which is what I need.
[Maybe there are other ways to do this?]
I wrote a line-height mod into scripts/wikistyles.php, and am attaching the
patch file. It lets you do this:
* %block line-height=2% here is a spaced bullet
* another bullet
* whitespace does not separate the block, so this gets included.
** Subbullet 1
** Subbullet 2 (don't you mean, torpedo?)
In this case, the target ot "line-height" can be a single number, indicating
an increment of lines (in the above example, double spacing), or it can be
"24px" representing pixels. This is standard css, apparently.
The patch is trivial. Maybe this is why no cookbook mods, to save myself
the embarrassment of proposing such a simple change. To apply it, "cd wiki
; patch -p0 < thepatchfile" if you're using unix. Otherwise, hand-edit
wikistyles.php.
If there is no better way to do it, can this be added to the PmWiki distro?
Thanks,
Russ
