[pmwiki-users] Strange markup

[Rene Visco]

Hi Hans, 

Thanks for your quick reply.  I did copy your code and it did not align
properly.  It's all three rows stacked.

I tried 250px and it did format the row into 250 colmuns, but still stacked
together like thick rows.

It looks like I have to upgrade pmwiki to recent release.

you could use wiki divs and styles, for instance:

>>lfloat frame width=30pct<<
some text which will wrap some text which will wrap some text which will
wrap some text which will wrap
>>lfloat frame width=30pct<<
second column text which will wrap second column text which will wrap second
column text which will wrap
>>lfloat frame  width=30pct<<
Third column. Little bit more text and it should wrap long lines I hope.

you need to use pct rather than % for percent units.
I had to go a little less than 33% to allow for margins when I tried.
I used 'frame' only to show some boxes.
