|||
twext uses a simple [http://wixi.cc/index.php?title=twext_method method] to associate chunks of text with chunks of translation.. the method works with |
|||
regular text and also with lyrics to songs.. and any |
|||
of many languages: '''[http://wixi.cc/index.php?title=twexter http://wixi.cc/twexter]''' |

one way to format twext is with explicit tables.. |
|||
it works with html, more or less, but not so hot.. |
|||
http://twext.cc/pix/FormatWithTable.png |
|||
must we use tables? there is a problem with tables.. |
|||
tables constrict larger chunks of translation: |
|||
http://twext.cc/pix/FormatWithTableProblem.png |
|||
see the problem when table borders removed: |

http://twext.cc/pix/FormatWithTableProblemBad.png |
|||
css might format twext without tables: |
|||
http://twext.cc/pix/RefocusInOrderToSee.jpg |
|||
then we could fit more translation betwixt text.. each chunk of translation would still be centered directly under each chunk of text, but we might: |
|||
* get a little more room for translations and |
|||
* end up with a nicer looking text |
|||

http://meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/ shows some powerful uses of css without tables.. maybe we can find a solution that works on most browsers.. |
