Description

Practical examples of CSS Styling (with brief explanations)

Examples

Indenting a table

(from pmwiki-users list on and around 4/24/2008)

Class "indent" is built-in and it is defined as wiki style with indentation value 40px. You can add new class (style):

	1. as a wikistyle - put $WikiStyle['indent2']['margin-left'] = '80px'; to your config.php

	or

	2. as a CSS style - put .indent2 { margin-left:80px; } to your CSS (pmwiki.css or other file depending on your skin)

I use a slightly modified version of the monobook theme. I added the line ".indent2 { margin-left:80px; }" to the end of the monobook.css, actually renamed mononei.css. Thereafter I put the "class=indent2" into the table declaration, e.g.

(:table class=indent2 border=1 cellpadding=5 cellspacing=0:)

Release Notes

If the recipe has multiple releases, then release notes can be placed here. Note that it's often easier for people to work with "release dates" instead of "version numbers".
