HTML SANDBOX 2021

I have been posting pictures without that slash right before the bracket. Or is it a sideways carat?

[Hebrews 11:6]

"/br": Don't know. I saw it while using "View Page Source" but didn't understand it.

Regarding no "/" while posting images: I too have noticed that FR is somewhat forgiving that way.

While we’re at it, posting the width of pictures is a bit confusing.

“width=500” does not have to be in quotes. I notice that you’re now posting “width=50%” , which seems new and depends on the width of each picture, right?

[Hebrews 11:6]

If you specify width=500, you're producing an image exactly 500 pixels wide. A full computer screen is about 650. But many are using smaller screens, on phones and tablets, and bigger images get cropped.

Using "50%" or 90% avoids that by tailoring your image to every screen. It does not "depend on" the picture's width; rather, it fits the picture to the viewers' screens.

[Kevmo]

Good to know. width=50%

Note that in Preview, this picture is still gigantic...

[Kevmo]

width = 10%

[Kevmo]

width = 75%

[Hebrews 11:6]

Practice makes perfect.

Trying your trick over here. Needs some more tweaking...

To post the “angle brackets” or less-than and greater-than symbols, the HTML code is

& lt and & gt; respectively, e.g. << img src="https://blahblahblah.com/img.jpg" <> That shows the format of the code without it turning into an actual link.

this works better

>img src=”https://www.whatfinger.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/saveamericatrump.png“<

turn the “>” to “<”

[Olog-hai]

Well, it’s not a trick, but there is some HTML blocking on this website. I had to change the font to make some of the codes display; &lt; would continue to display as < even after I put &amp; before it. Try switching to the courier font, which is not MS truetype.

Posting tables is extremely difficult. I used the *pre* command and reduced what the table said. It turns out that the *pre* command doesn't work on the thread posting itself, it only works when you're posting replies.

--------------------------------------------------------
Table 1 
Reducing the content of Pb and Pt isotopes in Pd after exposure in D plasma (ICP)*


Pb in Pd                 Pb204            Pb208
% Before exposure        1.51%           54.18%
% After exposure         6.29%           50.06%

----------------------------------------------------------

Table 2 
Reducing the content of Fe isotopes in Ni after processing in hydrogen plasma
 
Fe in Ni                Fe54         Fe56          Fe57
%Before exposure        6.55%       91.22%         2.23%
%After exposure        18.85%       79.56%         1.59%

Zn in Ni          Zn64      Zn66      Zn67      Zn68    Zn70
%Before exposure  46.9%    28.36%    4.34%     19.62%  0.71%
%After exposure   98.7%    0.32%     0.13%     0.80%   0.01%

I had so much trouble posting these 2 tables from
http://ikkem.com/iccf23/orppt/ICCF23-OA-06%20Savvatimova.pdf

that I gave up.

Since you know tables so well, perhaps you could issue a few pointers?

[Hebrews 11:6]

Be glad to try. The tricky part to me, and perhaps to you, is the first table where one column divides into two: that's simplicity itself in Excel but confounding in HTML. I might turn the first table into two tables.

Pb in Pd

204

206

207

208

Here's a start--took ten minutes. SPECIFICALLY, what troubled you?

Here are the angle-brackets replaced by parens for clarity:

(table border=1)
(tr)
(td width="200")(b)(i)Pb (/i)in (i)Pd(/td)
(td width="80")(b)(center)204(/td)
(td width="80")(b)(center)206(/td)
(td width="160")(b)(center)207(/td)
(td width="80")(b)(center)208(/td)
(/tr)
(/table)
To start a new row, add (tr) after the (/tr), then (td) etc.

[Hebrews 11:6]

The border was a single line in my Preview—don’t know offhand about that....

[Kevmo]

Thanks.

Tables are simply too much trouble in HTML.
