Wiki issue
Hi,
I have noticed that quite a few of the wiki pages extend wider than the
browser page.
Is it not possible to set the wiki HTML so that it always proportions the
content to the current size of the window?
The reason for the request is that it quite difficult to read a long
document with having to constantly shift the window from side to side.
An example of this is:
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/OFBiz+Contributors+Best+Practices
I am using Firefox 2.0.0.1 on Windows2000 if that makes any difference.
Internet V6 does the same.
Kind regards,
Andrew Ballantine.

Andrew,
If Tim's guess is right as an awkward workaround you may try to reduce your font size when you encounter this peculiar problem (Ctrl + mouse wheel do that in a glance)

Andrew, I'm guessing hte problem that you're having with this is caused by two things:
1. You have quite a small viewable space in your browser
2. the svn diff of ShipmentServices is a bit wider than you have going on.
#1 we can't help you with :) - #2 is probably something more in the way Confluence handles verbatim text. In this particulart case, we would have a few options:
1. Make the example path shorter
2. See where & why Confluence handles these this way.
I'm guessing that it's easier to do #1, but maybe someone know why verbatim-esque things are handle this way. I checked a bunch of other wiki formats and they ALL pretty much handle them in a similar manner because it's just following what the user asked - to display something exactly the way that they see it.
Anyways, I hope this helps explain the mystery.
Cheers,
Tim

I read your response as a diagnosis which I didn't fully understand and am
not in a position to implement because the page is read only. So I cannot
fix the problem on that page at the wiki level.

Agreed. However the problem is with Confluence. The rendering of the page is
down to their software. I am simply the poor mug who is reporting a User
Interface problem that makes it difficult for me and, presumably, others to
read this VERY important information.

I can just about read it at that size, but it will cause eye stain and is
just a workaround. The width of the browser display should not grow when the
text size is changed. As I said HTML problem that only Confluence can fix.

Will do, but I get the feeling nothing will get done.

Not sure what you mean by 4.

Andrew, I don't see how any of these responses to your Wiki message
could have been viewed as anything but helpful? Please explain when
you get a chance.
As for editing it, I believe this is just one of those very few pages
that has restrictions as to who can edit it because it contains VERY
important information that they don't want to risk being modified by
spammers, etc.
My recommendations would be the following:
1. Up your resolution. My 15" laptop browser has a resolution of
1440x900
2. Try Jacques suggestion and make your font size smaller in your window
3. Submit a JIRA issue asking for the example to be changed.
4. any others

A way to help to resolve this problem would be to explain the problem to Attlassian (Confluence editor). This link might help

Do you know one that allow to set permissions by document ? This one of the main reason of Conflucence choice. You may find more in

Hi,
Thanks for your observations, but I don't really understand how you expect
me to fix it.
I regret that none of your comments are any help as the example page is not
editable.
I also note that even the sandbox page is slightly wider than the browser
window resulting in a horizontal slider at the bottom of the screen. Poor
HTML design again.
I use a 1024 x 768 screen which is quite enough on a standard 17" screen.
I must also say that this new wiki is not particularly user friendly. Yes,
one can get used to it, but there is plenty of wiki software out there that
is intuitive. Hey Ho, I'll struggle on, but all these hurdles are
depressing.
Everyone seems so defensive on this project I am finding it is difficult to
contribute as I am getting to the point where I am not sure I dare to
comment for fear of another lashing or negative response.
Kind regards,
Andrew Ballantine

Re: Wiki issue
Posted by Andrew Sykes <an...@sykesdevelopment.com>.
Andrew, Tim,
The diff line definitely seems to be the problem, perhaps it would be a
good idea to have a best practise somewhere that asked for verbatim
lines to be split when they were in danger of causing this kind of
formatting problem, I see it too, and it definitely isn't too
pretty! :-)
e.g.
$ start of line
~\ continuation
~\ even more...
Is there any reason not to do this?
