The text in the right side of the main ZOPE page exhibits the proper line wrapping as one expands and contracts the browser window on the right hand side. [#1] http://www.zope.org Some other pages on zope have a wrap problem, for example [#2]: http://zdp.zope.org/FAQ/all The first paragraph that starts "This FAQ is a project of the Zope Documentation Project, and...." This paragraph continues as one line and continues off the right edge of the window. If one clicks on the link at the bottom, "printable page", [#3] http://zdp.zope.org/FAQ/all?pp=1 all is well and moving the right edge moves properly wraps the text as into a multi line paragraph. This seems to be a problem with how text is formatted when it is part of a "Zope headlines" _table_ with the zope logo and shortcuts on the left as seen in #1 & #2. The source looks ok for this paragraph: (note: parens used instead of bbrackets here) (p) This FAQ is a project of the Zope Documentation Project, and aims to answer any (or at least lost) questions you might have about Zope and how to use it.(/p) So it must be something with the table used. This problem is seen both with IE5 and NS4.5 -Bob
Hi there, First of all please note that zdp.zope.org and www.zope.org are independent entities, they run at different machines, etc. Any line wrapping problem in zdp.zope.org is the Zope Documentation Project's fault. :) We're aware of line wrap problems with the current setup of the zdp.zope.org, though your analysis sounds new to me -- I thought the problem was with structured text rendering the code samples (which include some long lines) using the PRE tag, and the browsers adjusting the size of the window according to the longest PRE tag, basically. The ZDP is working on CoolFAQ, the next generation FAQ system, in which we hope to get around all these problems. If the problem is urgent or very annoying however, and you want to do some work figuring it out, I can give you a login into the zdp.zope.org machine if you like. Just mail me if you want to help us. :) Thanks and regards, Martijn

The problem lies in the fact that Structured Text examples are rendered using <PRE> HTML tags. The browser will not wrap these paragraphs, so they widen the table. The browser then extends ALL text to the width of the table. When using the Printable Page option, no table is used to render the page, and all is well, apart from the example code. We are aware of the problem, and we might be able to solve it when we develop the CoolFAQ. -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | Tel: +31-35-6254545 Fax: +31-35-6254555 | mailto:mj@antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ------------------------------------------
