Formatting Wiki Page w/Columns

edited November 2015 in Campaign Portal Building
I've created a Wiki page on my OP website listing a massive spellbook found by my players.

*Spoilers* https://rise-of-the-runelords-21.obsidianportal.com/wikis/mokmurians-spellbook

I want to be able to condense this list into multiple columns. Not sure how I would do this since it doesn't seem that the editing page doesn't recognize CSS commands. Thanks for any insight you are able to provide.

    I would love to take a look, but your campaign is marked as private.

    Offhand, a simple table with a single row and 3 cells achieves that...

    CSS is input via your settings page (Advanced). The classes you define there you can then call in your wiki page.

    Best of luck,

    I've made my website public. Forgot to do that when I posted. Sorry about that. :)

    "https://swtwc.obsidianportal.com/wikis/example-of-columns-in-a-wiki-page":https://swtwc.obsidianportal.com/wikis/example-of-columns-in-a-wiki-page

    This is a page I cobbled together showing two columns inside my site's formatting.
    I used the following to make the columns:



    Place content for the left-column here.

    Place content for the right-column here.



    Unfortunately, doing it this way means deciding when the column break should occur.
    This is very similar to what I use with a CSS to make my navigation bar on my site.

    Was this what you were looking for?

    PS- I am an ascendant member, but I'm not sure. Would that change things for inline code?

    Would using a table suit your needs?

    I've been doing a lot of that lately. "For example, my Firearms page":https://ptolus-city-by-the-spire-by-bryan.obsidianportal.com/wiki_pages/firearms

    - UTM
    "Ptolus":https://ptolus-city-by-the-spire-by-bryan.obsidianportal.com

    For columns that work themselves out (where you don't have to manually place the column break), you'll want the "css column properties":http://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_multiple_columns.asp. Unfortunately, there are still some layout issues with them in various browsers, but you can try them out easy enough. I use them now and then, for example, "here":https://chainsawxivs-exalted.obsidianportal.com/wikis/solar-charms.

    Barring that, you'll need to manually break the columns out as others are suggesting.
