Thanks! And I hope you like how I fattened up the "rquote" stuff to show better how it acts around other text. human

- Yes, I had wondered about doing someting like that. (on my scrreeen it don't work - they're 'all one after t'other down the screen so I wasn't sure how it looked - thanks! Susanpurrrrr ... 16:23, 1 December 2007 (EST)
- I've rooted all round WP & the other templates are all either redundant or ovr complex. Susanpurrrrr ... 17:05, 1 December 2007 (EST)
- Thanks. We've got the three we need and nice documentation now, though. The piped byilne argys for c and r quote were especially nice to find out about. And the grey box one is the one I wanted to find. What size is your screen? 300 x 400?

Portrait: 2 'n' 1/8" x 2 'n' 7/8" (5.5 x 7 cm) heh! Tiny innit? & The onscreen keyboard takes ip an inch @ the bottom (but switches off when not in use) Dunno the px measurements.Susanpurrrrr ... 18:47, 1 December 2007 (EST)
n characters: Screen width: In tahoma 8pt - 29 x "m", 37 x "n", 56 x "." Height: Still in tahoma 8 pt - 15 lines
It sounds worse than it is actually, From what I've managed already it should be apparent that it's quite usable. Should be on desktop & broadband any day now. (2 x 19" screens!). Susanpurrrrr ... 20:12, 1 December 2007 (EST)
Mwuahaha! Heh!Heh! Heh!Heh! (evil laugh followed by crone's cackle) Susanpurrrrr ... 20:35, 1 December 2007 (EST)
- Scary. With what you can do while peering at a tiny screen and hitting microscopic buttons, who knows what feats you can accomplish with a three screen, dual processor, two keyboards, six arms and a direct connection to innertubes central!?!? human

- After extensive research, the only response that I can give is: "You've got to be joking!". Susanpurrrrr ...
- Go look @ wp:Template:Cquote & wp:Template:Rquote. Be my guest if you can make anything of them. Susanpurrrrr ... 16:13, 2 December 2007 (EST)
Working .... working .... w o r k i n g . . . . NO! Susanpurrrrr ... 17:13, 2 December 2007 (EST)
- rquote is a fixed width "box", so short quotes will look lonely. This is how they force the wrapping around them, basically. cquote is however wide needed, up to 100%, I think. But doesn't wrap text around itself. human

- I made my window smaller, and apparently, rquote is a percentage, not a fixed pixel width, because all three "columns" above got narrower - to the point where the text in the quotes started wrapping. human
