define width of wiki page #130

Closed ebarry closed 11 years ago

ebarry commented 11 years ago

The wiki pages look great when they are being "previewed" because their width is restricted to ~500px. Can we just apply this width on wiki pages throughout the site? I think it would create a "cleaner" look.

I think 500 is a bit tiny, no? I agree it has to be limited. But can we decide on 800 or something a bit bigger? This needs testing on different sized screens to make a good decision.

Yes, let's test! I have a preference for column widths that are equal to the width of the emebdded images in them -- 500 is one of those common image widths.

800 might be a bit big for phones. Are the wikis meant to be read/edited by smartphone?

Sometimes it is better to have different CSS for mobile devices; why compromise when you can do both depending upon the device ;)

We can def set width only for desktop display using an @media CSS rule. Good call. On May 20, 2013 5:27 PM, "Bryan Bonvallet" notifications@github.com wrote:
