Customizing HTML Timetables
Q. When choosing 'Export -> to web-page' from the timetable Print screens, and then viewing the resultant HTML file, the columns may be of various widths.
Can I change this ? I would prefer the time axis to be uniformly spaced.
A. This is because your Browser is automatically setting the column-width to be the size of the longest item in that column.
To try to fool the Browser to make the columns look equal, you can change the name of any (one) teacher in a narrow column on a Class Timetable, and make the teacher's name longer [on the Teachers Screen, section C5].
However you cannot do it like this:
Geoff Smith
because in HTML all multiple spaces are automatically truncated to a single space by your Browser,
so you'll have to change the teacher's name to something like:
Geoff Smith...... or
....Geoff Smith.... or
. . . Geoff Smith . . . or
Geoff . . . . Smith or
--Geoff Smith--
etc.
An alternative if you are familiar with HTML is to go into the HTML code [eg. in DreamWeaver or another HTML editor] and edit the spaces (before/after the name) to be several 'non-breaking-spaces' [" " followed by semi-colon in HTML] which will then give a gap without showing any dots etc. But that will take a while !
