The question may sound silly, but I'll ask nevertheless:
What's wrong with putting the right column into a Template:Mainpagerightcolumn page and to use {{Mainpagerightcolumn}} to include it?
This way, all wiki formatting could be used.
I would have done that, but in order to keep the skin template as simple as possible, the right column is inserted outside the regular content area (the one you can edit via the frontend). Therefore the column can only be inserted via the skin template and that does not support wiki templates.
And my usual you-should-better-call-your-eye-doctor test ;-) results in cut-off text in the right column. Unfortunately the right column gets smaller with increasing font sizes :-( - it should have a fixed width, specified in em.
This cannot work with the current design. It would work with a col1-col3-col2 design with col2 floating right, but such a design would require a header being independent from the content area with the column. Since our header depend on the column widths in the content area, I had to choose a col1-col2 design for the overall page. If you now put two columns in col2 - col2.2 with 10em width floating right and a col2.1 with auto-width and a right margin of 11em col2.2 will be positioned below col2.1 ;-(. -- Regards Frank Frank Sundermeyer, Technical Writer, Documentation SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg Tel: +49-911-74053-0, Fax: +49-911-7417755; http://www.opensuse.org/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) "Reality is always controlled by the people who are most insane" Dogbert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org
