Playground getting reorganized, comments please

Hi Tim,

Unfortunately, I cant seem to massage the css to get the code blocks and 'pre' markup to match. Any ideas?

I'm not sure I understand your problem.
Here is the relevant section in abitmodern.css

/* Make monospaced text stand out a bit, in SansSerif fonts */
#wikitext code {
      font-family: 'Andale Mono', courier, monospace;
      font-size:110%;
}
/* Put preformatted text in a box with gray background, save some space too with a smaller font*/
#wikitext pre {
      font-family: 'Andale Mono', courier, monospace;
      font-size:90%;
      font-weight:normal;
      color: #0;
        margin-left:2ex;
        margin-right:2ex;
        padding-left:2ex;
        padding-rigth:2ex;
        padding-top:1ex;
        padding-bottom:1ex;

      background-color: #eee;
      border-width : thin;
      border-style : solid;
}

The css-selector "#wikitext code" applies to the pmwiki-typewriter markup @@sometext@@
The css-selector "#wikitext pre" applies to the pmwiki-preformatted markup [@sometext@]

The above values center the codebox on the content div, with some margins to play with.

Also the wiki doesn't have a license page.

I was inspired from this posting by mellis

Where he mentions

You also need to be willing to publish your work under a Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license.

I thought this applies to the whole site?
If so we could simply place a link to the license page in file "abitmodern.tmpl" like this :
in

<div id='footer'>
   <!-- replace this one     <div id='footer'>$SkinCopyright</div> with -->
   <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/">Arduino Playgorund License</a>
</div>

Instead, should we just remove that all together?

There should be some sort of license agreement for the content I think.
I wouldn't pulish anything these days without a section like this here.

  1. Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS LICENSE OR THE USE OF THE WORK, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

This is from the CC-License.
