Stonehenge PDFs, widow and orphan and added format request.


Games


Hello there.

I appreciate the work you have done to get this up. I have one request. Can you please add additional format support and a way to get rid of widows and orphans? A simple answer would be to add a [br] command for a line break. This way, after seeing the PDF, [br] could be added in key spots to be able to help with formatting, and prevent widows and orphans. I have noticed cases where a header to new section was the last line on a page of a PDF, and sometimes the text would creep up into the header of a section also.

Anyhow, keep up the good work. The formatting for the game rules looks fantastic!

Actually I'd prefer to make the layout code smart enough to avoid widows and orphans itself, but I don't have time for that. And the [br] suggestion is nifty, and simple enough to code that I've already added it. Look for it the next time I roll the site (probably tomorrow).

OK, I went ahead and rolled the site, so you can now add line breaks with [br].


Thanks for the [br]. I will play with my rules and get them to look better.

Have smart formating would be a BIG plus to. It could end up ignoring [br] that don't get in the way, if need be, so that anything done up before the change over to smart formatting, would be a big plus.

Then I could whine to add a spelling, grammar and right terminology checker to the adding, but I don't want to push my luck THAT much. :-)


One more request here. After you save the set of game rules, can you return people to the same page they were on so that the PDF could be viewed to see if there is a need for a format change, instead of back to the list of all the games in the library?

Thanks...

I'd advise everyone to do their drafting in an actual word processor.

But then, I'd also advise people to ask a grammar-oriented friend to read through it before posting.
