Oh, that page (and still a few others) still have an older obsolete form of
links attached to them, so the display routines see that there's that data,
and they display them that way (the pre-FTX way).

If you use

   Links & Resources
   -----------------

you can achieve something similar, although not as compact.


If you look at <http://www.lugnet.com/loc/uk/?p=shops-by-area> you'll
probably see my other problems - is there any way, or is there any way
planned to get rid of the embedding lines? Maybe adding a character to the
beginning <<!/loc/uk/blah/snorf>> ?

Hmm, not sure yet on that; the lines are connected to the dot on the right
which is supposed to help highlight the transclusion and provide a link to
the transcluded document.  Just as the main Spotlight page transcludes the
dailies to make a meta-page.


Also, the tables are nearly impossible to read at present - being able to
define column widths in tabs or percentages would be great! Being able to
add colour to the columns would be nice too, but nowhere near as important
(readability wise) as having uniform widths!

I'll hafta re-do the way tables work from the ground up, so that they're tied
in with an HDB or something, in order to fix this right.

First off - something simple :) How do you get the small red font as in (URL) ? I just get a blank page for (URL), but it probably is just a permissions thing as I can see (URL) fine! Otherwise I'd find out for myself - also I can't seem to find it (...) (25 years ago, 17-Jan-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
