| Posted: | | | | With with all these aircraft (B-17, B-24, F-111, B-2, etc.) I've been typing what I "see" into the overview from the back cover, which I now understand is a "Line-break hyphen" as identified in the rules.
I now realize that as you resize columns in your layout "F-" and "111" end up appearing on different lines as a result.
This problem goes away, of course, if you use the en-dash. But that generates another problem:
It looks funny.
Even the shorter en-dash is too long, and produces a result that doesn't look like what I see on the back cover overview.
I'm not sure this would even be a problem with basic HTML, and of course if you wanted to shut down line breaking entirely of a bit of text you'd just use the standard (depreciated?) (<nobr></nobr>).
Of course you can't use HTML in the overview either.
So it would seem that I've either got to live with unwanted line breaks and standard hyphens, or go back and fix what I've done with en-dashes and live with how that looks funny compared to the back cover art.
Is there a fix for this that I'm overlooking? I'm pretty sure that just going with F15 vs F-15 would be wrong as well as visually unsatisfying.
Should I go back and fix what I've submitted with en-dashes?
Thanks. |

| Posted: | | | | I'd leave it alone. Everyone's screen/layout is probably slightly different so that inconvenient wrapping on one screen is fine on another.
I have Profiler loaded on a laptop, desktop, iPhone and iPad and all have a different size windows for the Overview so each wraps differently. It will never be perfect everywhere. | | | Bad movie? You're soaking in it! |
