Newbie: using html in zope
Dear All We are adding HTML files as documents to our zope site. The files are using the default css stylesheet for our site. This is working lovely as we single-source from FrameMaker and deliver in a number of formats and there are a few hundred files already placed in our site. The only problems are - table widths: The tables stretch across the page and right off the screen (past the header). The text wraps correctly at the end of the page but the table cell just keeps on going. This makes the file useless to print (they are for reference and we would like them to be able to print out). I really do not want to have to specify exact coloum widths but want the tables to be 100% of the screen. - font sizes: In the style sheet I have added a number of extra styles. Everything such as, indentation, colour, font style, etc, is being reflected in the html files when displayed except the font size. Everything is the same size. I would also like to hear from anyone using Zope as a documentation library like us and how they handled difference file types such as Word, PDF etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated, tina poole MineSTAR Mincom Limited Brisbane, Australia _________________________________________________ This transmission is for the intended addressee only and is confidential information.

- table widths: The tables stretch across the page and right off the screen (past the header). The text wraps correctly at the end of the page but the table cell just keeps on going. This makes the file useless to print (they are for reference and we would like them to be able to print out). I really do not want to have to specify exact coloum widths but want the tables to be 100% of the screen. Browsers are no typesetting systems. They have limited capabilities, e.g. no hyphenation. It is well possible that they do not find appropriate line breaking points to keep the table narrow.
- font sizes: In the style sheet I have added a number of extra styles. Everything such as, indentation, colour, font style, etc, is being reflected in the html files when displayed except the font size. Everything is the same size. Seems to be Netscape 4. It has a very strange understanding of CSS, especially with respect to font sized...
I would also like to hear from anyone using Zope as a documentation library like us and how they handled difference file types such as Word, PDF etc. You want to look at the Kaivo Document Library.
