[WSG] Spec box and leaders

2005-08-18 Thread Wayne Godfrey
Is there a way to make leaders for use in an automotive 
Specifications box? I have a ton of specs to place on a web page and 
I'm baffled as how to do this with XHTML and CSS. A quick example 
below. I do this all the time in InDesign and Quark but this is a first 
for me on the web. Can it be done or does someone have a better thought 
process?


Gear Ratios:
1st...3.59
2nd..2.19
3rd..1.41
4th..1.00
5th..0.83
Reverse3.16

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

Looks like tabular data, so you could use a table without incurring  
the wrath of the CSS deities.

A brief discussion[1] was entered into recently on the generation of dot
leaders. There is a test case[2] to view as well, which should give you a
good idea of directions to take.
