Post #1,605 by jake123 7/12/01 3:43:24 PM Reply	Wackiness with .sig Hi! My sig seems to be having, uh... issues. It's text surrounded by a <pre> tag, and for some reason the font size is getting changed. Also, the forum seems to be adding spurious <br> tags at the end of each line, which is not necessary (and in fact screws it up) within a <pre> block. Any ideas? -- ---------------------------------------------------------- * Jack Troughton jake at jakesplace.dhs.org * * [link\|http://jakesplace.dhs.org\|[link\|http://jakesplace.dhs.org\|http://jakesplace.dhs.org]] [link\|ftp://jakesplace.dhs.org\|[link\|ftp://jakesplace.dhs.org\|ftp://jakesplace.dhs.org]] * * Montr\ufffdal PQ Canada [link\|news://jakesplace.dhs.org\|news://jakesplace.dhs.org] * ----------------------------------------------------------

Post #1,680 by jb4 7/13/01 9:25:20 AM Reply	Question: Why are [br] tags being rendered as a double carriage-return (i.e. a blank line between the line ending in [br] and the next line of text)? I thought that was the way that [p] tags were to be rendered; [br] tags did not have that extra blank line. Just wondering... jb4 (Resistance is not futile...)
Post #1,734 by jake123 7/13/01 2:58:48 PM Reply	Because the text is between pre tags That is, it's preformatted text. The browser should render this as if it was in a plain text text editor; monospace font, and all spaces etc maintained. So, the browser is rendering the hard returns, and then adding a break. -- ---------------------------------------------------------- * Jack Troughton jake at jakesplace.dhs.org * * [link\|http://jakesplace.dhs.org\|[link\|http://jakesplace.dhs.org\|http://jakesplace.dhs.org]] [link\|ftp://jakesplace.dhs.org\|[link\|ftp://jakesplace.dhs.org\|ftp://jakesplace.dhs.org]] * * Montr\ufffdal PQ Canada [link\|news://jakesplace.dhs.org\|news://jakesplace.dhs.org] * ----------------------------------------------------------

Post #1,933 by jake123 7/16/01 2:42:57 PM Reply	The font will then switch to variable spaced... See below to see what I mean. I'm more or less reproducing my usenet .sig for this board... -- ---------------------------------------------------------- * Jack Troughton jake at jakesplace.dhs.org * * [link\|http://jakesplace.dhs.org\|[link\|http://jakesplace.dhs.org\|http://jakesplace.dhs.org]] [link\|ftp://jakesplace.dhs.org\|[link\|ftp://jakesplace.dhs.org\|ftp://jakesplace.dhs.org]] * * Montr\ufffdal PQ Canada [link\|news://jakesplace.dhs.org\|news://jakesplace.dhs.org] * ----------------------------------------------------------
