Question

WYSIWYG for tables in Editor view?

Several of our users are complaining that tables in the Editor view don't look like they do when composed in a print preview. Tables have no identation in our editor view but they have the standard 1" margin when you do a print preview and I was wondering if there was any way to have the indentation in the Editor view as well, as well as make it more WYSIWYG looking. I know it's last century technology 🙂

    Hi Kathleen!

    "WYSIWYG is last-century technology" is my slogan, and I am delighted to hear the idea is catching on 🙂


    However, I'm not quite following you on the comment below. Are you referring to "generic markup" such as <h1> and

    ?

    Hi Suzanne,
    As you know, we edit in XML and output SGML, so the screen FOSI is important in our world. I might be able to contribute something to this discussion.

    BTW, I think you might want to make your email font a little smaller. I can still read it with the naked eye. It seems that you must be trying to get to the magnifying-glass size. 😉

    Clay,

    Let's plan on teaming up on this! Anyone else?

    My apologies to all about the font size. My mailer wants it to be 8pt or 14pt. I haven't figured out how to fix it yet.

    Plain-text email messages! Fancy-schmantzy fonts and colors are
    last-century technology. 😉

    Not if your E-mail program supports FOSI!

    I am a typographer at heart, so that would never work for me.

    Hmm... smells like an Arbortext Monster Garage session for next year.
    Wiring up Arbortext Editor as a front-end to some email-handling
    components...

    Arborlook? Outbortext? Eubora? aMail? (Props to James for the
    "aThing" concept...)

    ...smells more like somebody losing a bet.

    Of course, if it ever caught on, there'd actually be a domestic job market to support more than, say, 30 FOSI developers.
