• Description
The layout of this page is very primitive. Arguably the presentation of this
information should be an HTML table, but the auto-indexing module predates the
widespread support for tables in web browsers so a plain text layout, limited to
80 columns wide, is used by default. We will show how to override this default
below. Because the text is so limited in width, facilities are provided to select which
columns are shown and there is limited support for changing the widths of columns.
There are also controls on which rows get shown.
So we can investigate this module more closely, we will populate the
cheese.dept.cam.ac.uk web site.
