I'll publish the images at       the T-D website.              I'll also ask that anyone with web design expertise volunteer their       services to help with these goals:              1. Adjust page width and height and proportions to more clearly show        the online copy of the Digest when users visit it, depending on the        screen resolution available to each viewer.              2. Find the best compromise between the current text layout, which is        simply a copy of the line lengths shown in each individual TD post,        and HTML, css, or other options to automatically improve on it.              3. Automate the "markup" of each day's online digest version, by using        a copy of the daily digest and tools such as sed or awk.              Thanks for any help you have time to provide: I hope we'll get a       better publication and make daily tasks easier by working together.              Bill Horne              P.S. The latest example of the online digest is at       http://telecomdigest.net/rsi/latest-issue.html              --       (Please remove QRM to reply to my personal inbox)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
