OK, I downloaded the build from the 28th and tested some modifications
with it. Everything works perfectly except that changes to an external
CSS file are not reflected in the preview pane after a refresh (as are
changes to the HTML files, including to inline CSS declarations in an
HTML file). A restart of BibDesk is required.
I updated my styles, in RTFD and HTML, according to Christiaan's
advice. I added some icons, a little functionality and some color
(since the links force some blue). The result is there:
http://maururu.net/2010/two-columns-bibdesk-template/
as before
The remaining issues (which are not BibDesk related) are:
- when using HTML tables, the maximum width is fixed to something less
than the full window width (~800px). So the two columns won't extend
further. It could be considered a feature though: it enhances the
readability of the abstract by ensuring a decent number of words per
line ;)
- in RTF, I cannot find a way to have part of a line aligned to the
left and another part aligned to the right. In HTML I use a table with
two columns and text-align: left in the left column, text-align:right
in the right column. Doing so in RTF works but the content of the
right column can actually "bleed" out from the column (i.e. the
minimum column width is not fixed by the content). In consequence, If
I put an image in the right column (the magnifying glass icon in my
case) it "bleeds" out of the window and its right half is cut. As a
consequence I placed this icon immediately after the title in the RTF
template, which is less efficient UI wise, because it moves around and
is therefore less reliable to click.
I hope this template can be useful to others now.
