Description

Practical examples of CSS Styling (with brief explanations)

Examples

Indenting a table

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

INSTRUCTIONS:

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)
REPLY:

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:)
