So, my team Spirit Strike has some major formatting isues with the character sheet.  And I can't figure out what's wrong, or how to fix it.  Can I have someone take a look real quick and see what's wrong?

I've reformatted here:

community.wizards.com/coco/wiki/Spirit_S...


I didn't want to make edits directly to your team page, so I made a quick format page under it. Just edit the format page, and then copy/paste the code to your team's page. You can delete the format page once you copy the code over.

As to the formatting error, it appears the wiki did not wrap text wherever you had a new line that started with a space and curly bracket " {". So I removed all the spaces from each new line. Hope that helps.

The easiest way I have found to update my wiki pages is to make the changes here in one of these threads. I use the one I opened to first show interest and post my team. Once I have updated them I click edit and then choose the html button. Use control A to select it all and the copy it. I then go to my wiki page click edit and control a to select all and then paste in the updated sheet.

It works best for me because I am not really proficient in html. I have played with it some and learned a bit, but find it very hard to edit when in html format.

Yeah, I wrote the character sheet in notepad, but I just couldn't figure out what was causing issues with the spacing and wordwrap.  Thanks, mr0bunghole.

If you write it in notepad, if you don't have word wrap selected in the notepad options, it may have been that it got carried over to here when you posted here.

I use Notepad and Wordpad for editting before posting here on the forums and wikis. I can't seem to get either of them to work. I wish I knew how to be editting offline so when I pasted into the forums/wiki I didn't have to duplicate all the work again.

If you know how to work html, there's a little button in your formatting options whenever you edit or post something here that says 'HTML.'. Click that button, and instead of the plain text showing up pre-formatted, it will show up with all the html coding. Try copy/pasting that into wordpad or notepad or whatever, and be sure you have the word wrap option enabled. Also, be sure that your line spacing is single spaced, not 1.5 or double spaced. That can affect how things look when transferring them to here as well. That should fix it.

I would personally advise against editing in wordpad as it allows formatting that might get carried over accidentally.

Personally, and this is just me, I am comfortable editing in a textpad/notepad window with all of the tags shown. If I am posting in the wiki - I just copy and paste it in, preview it to make sure I have all of my tags, and then post it.

If I am posting in the forum, I'll click the HTML button, paste it in there and then preview and submit.

If you do choose to use wordpad/ms word/etc - just make sure you do a preview because you never know what formatting it will add to the copied text.
