Local Customizations

This can be used to make the current version look like previous versions:

## Adjust layout of the Plain skin.
if ($Skin == 'plain') {
  $PlainMidAlign = 'left';
  $HTMLStylesFmt['plainskin'] = "
  #wikihead, #wikifoot { width:100% } ";
}

This can be used to widen everything to 100% of the viewport:

## Adjust layout of the Plain skin (wide layout).
if ($Skin == 'plain') {
  $HTMLStylesFmt['plainskin'] = "
  #wikihead, #wikimid, #wikitext, #wikifoot { width:100% } ";
}

This can be used to widen the layout when editing (for a bigger text area):

## Adjust layout of the Plain skin (wide when editing).
if ($Skin == 'plain' && $action == 'edit') {
  $HTMLStylesFmt['plainskin'] = "
  #wikihead, #wikimid, #wikitext, #wikifoot { width:98% } ";
}

Notes

The skin is designed for PmWiki v2.1.27 or newer.

This skin uses tables for layout because doing so causes the pages render as consistently as possible in a wide variety of browsers. No transition to a CSS-only layout is planned.
