okay so do you want me to go ahead and create the CSS based on my format?

K Rake I've created a CSS. I need a way to send it to ya lol so we can use it:p

Edit:
Alrite I've uploaded files and since i can't upload HTML I changed the file type to .txt

Rename to:
chapter.txt --> chapter.html
index.txt --> index.html
style1.txt --> style1.css

chapter.html is an outline that can be used to write all of the chapter summaries. I've included comments to explain what each tag is used for.

index.html is an example of what it'll look like

style1.css is the style sheet. make sure its in the same folder as the html files

<div align='center'>You must always strive to be the best, but you must never believe that you are - Juan Manuel Fangio</div>

Thanks Jen'isand Rul.

I've added the styles after a bit of tweaking, as the page was using an overall malazan css style.

I've attached the html code that should be used for the template. (Just removed the html, body tags).

Basically the code in the txt file (chapter.txt) is what should be copied and pasted into the Chapter Summaries control panel page when adding a chapter, and then add the data in appropriate places.

I've added a sample_chapter.txt too. You can view that sample here: http://www.malazanem...ies.php?q_id=20

Jen'isand Rul, can you have a look at that and let me know if it looks correct.

Thanks

Year of the Late Frost

One year before the Letherii Seventh Closure

The Ascension of the Empty Hold

the code should be
and not
.. otherwise all the lines flow together

Looks good to me, though I think the text of the pre-chapter verse shold be changed to stand out more... italics perhaps?

The ability to click through the chapter summaries would be a good feature as well.

Would be good to have a navigation systm. But from what I see in the way Rake has written the php (notice I make this assumption from the URL, so could be totally wrong) it'd mean some re posting of the chapter summaries or extra work for Rake.

Imperial Historian, I presume you mean being able to click back - next from chapter to chapter. It probably could be done, but it'll be too much hassle to do it

Ok, no problem would be a nice feature but if it's too much hassle don't bother.

OK who do I send summaries to? Just done the prologue for GotM and wanted to see if the style and content is ok. I pretty much kept to HUME's format. Should be doing one every two days or so from now on, now that New Year and Xmas is over and work should be a bit less insane.
