Infobox/table formatting question: using bullets
Line 42:
 
I've proposed a wkipedia wide project to find and eliminate instances within infobox-style templates of the anti-accessible technique of creating multiple visual rows withn a single row by embedding matching HTML breaks in two (or more) adjacent columns in a table, please see [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Usability#Infobox accessibility issue]]. This problem has been recently fixed in [[template:infobox country]] and [[template:infobox city]]. My fear is that there are hundreds of other templates with references using this formatting technique. If anyone is interested in helping with such a project please let me know (here, or at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Usability]], or on my talk page, or via email). Thanks. -- [[user:Rick Block|Rick Block]] <small>([[user talk:Rick Block|talk]])</small> 04:27, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
 
== Infobox/table formatting question: using bullets ==
 
Hello! I'm attempting to use [[Template:Infobox Ship|Infobox Ship]], and I was trying to figure out a good way to use bullets in a particular box. Bullets would be helpful in rows like Armament, where a ship carried several different kinds of guns. However, when I set up a series of bullets like this:
 
:Ship armament=*8 × 380&nbsp;mm in 2 quad turrets on the bow
:<nowiki>*</nowiki>9 × 152&nbsp;mm AA in 3 triple turrets at the aft
:<nowiki>*</nowiki>24 × 100&nbsp;mm AA in 12 twin turrets
:<nowiki>*</nowiki>8 × 40&nbsp;mm AA
:<nowiki>*</nowiki>28 × 57&nbsp;mm AA in 14 twin turrets
:<nowiki>*</nowiki>20 × 20&nbsp;mm AA
 
I end up with a box that looks like this:
:<nowiki>*</nowiki>8 × 380&nbsp;mm in 2 quad turrets on the bow
:*9 × 152&nbsp;mm AA in 3 triple turrets at the aft
:*24 × 100&nbsp;mm AA in 12 twin turrets
:*8 × 40&nbsp;mm AA
:*28 × 57&nbsp;mm AA in 14 twin turrets
:*20 × 20&nbsp;mm AA
 
How can I get the template to recognize the bullet on the first line? [[User:TomTheHand|TomTheHand]] 17:34, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
