Ah, in regard to pelf's signature I meant for the emphasis to be on the placement of the table formatting in the start - I tend to leave tags open for the same reason whenever possible. Table formatting in signatures only seems to work correctly when place in the start was what I was getting at, though you'd probably know why that is better than me. I'm guessing that particular formatting wasn't really introduced with signatures in mind in the first place. :p
The auto width does explain that issue I had, I think. I only checked it in the preview which probably messes a bit with something like that.
At least I discovered one neat little trick updating my signature to it's current form even though my original idea won't work without a right-align division. See if you can spot it, I think it'll match you for pedantic formatting. ;)

Hehe, Yes abusing non-breaking spaces can be fun. One of Hat's favourite tricks ^_^
I prefer to code around the need for them myself. How about:
some right-aligned text
some right-aligned and indented text
There's still 83 characters left which might be enough.... maybe.

Awh, and here I thought I was clever for working around Wowhead's tendency to hide normal spaces beyond those separating words. This place is pretty airtight on formatting tricks for working around restrictions especially considering the sheer amount of available formatting, or maybe I'm just used to official forums which is about as airtight as a shot up sieve in that regard. :p
some right-aligned text
some right-aligned and indented text
There's still 83 characters left which might be enough.... maybe.
Clever. It'd have worked if the quote was shorter, actually. That line is the shortest I've found from the
original text
that even half works as a self contained quote though, haha. Would've been something like:
some left-aligned text
second line still on the left
some right-aligned and indented text
Can even drop a \ on the right-aligned line, though that'd break the indention.

Tooltips should be fine. could you link your guide (or tell me the guide number) so I can take a look and see what you're seeing?
The Pandaren image is just a beta thing. Beta for the game also means beta for the MoP side of the site and these things will be fixed as we get closer to MoP launch.
If you're doing an MoP-based guide then my only suggestion that you might not have been aware of before is to use \ at the start of the guide which will make all links/tooltips come from the MoP sie of the site. If you want to link something from live you need to add "site=www" to each link.(##RESPBREAK##)16##DELIM##asakawa##DELIM##

FTFY :) (you forgot the \ to make the code show)

Unfortunately it does just come down to a lot of copy/paste.

The map isn't exactly "filled" - there are only a couple pins in it. The best thing to do is pull up two tabs / windows of the map you linked and the guide editing page and create the pins as Sephiroth suggested. The benefit is that you can make the pins link somewhere (that's the url=item=#### part), though they don't have to.

Those tooltips with formulae should get parsed down as we get closer to live.

I just read the
5.0.4 guide
.
Gotta say I REALLY enjoy the new formatting, not least of which is the cool new yellow header font. Any chance us meager mini-guide writers can get access for some of those shinies?

You never know what we may wind up cooking in Mists (except ofc the datamined new things for

You can always make them as images and insert them as borderless images with a transparent background.

I'm having an issue with the icon code - as soon as I add any size to it (other than tiny) it eats the text its wrapped around - I'm trying to have it in a h2, so I can't really add the text afterwards (it adds a linebreak) - I see it can be done - by using img urls offsite (maybe onsite too)(like here:
) but it would be awesome if the actual code for it worked :)

I've used floating divs and tables to get around this sort of thing in the past.

Table workaround as in
(tr)(cell)icon(/cell)(Cell)header(/cell)(/tr)
?
