Printer-friendly version

Taxonomy upgrade extras:
The original and 'printer friendly' versions of my story 'A summer of changes' appear to be alright but the main text of the PDF version is always centred rather than left-aligned (or, ideally, right- justified). Is there something that I am doing wrong?

Problem with PDF?
Hi Louise Anne
Here's the code from the start of Book 4 Chapter 2:
A discussion with Alison gives rise to some food for thought-->
<img src="/topshelf/system/files/u7386/images/temp.jpg" align=left width="218" height="275" alt= Denise in a blue cardigan />
<br><div align="center"><b><strong><font face='verdana,arial,geneva,sanserif' size='6' color='#A05'>A Summer of Changes </font></strong><br><br> Part 4 Chapter 2<br><br><br> </big> Getting ready for a date</b></div><br><br> <br><br> <br><br>
I would say the major problem is that you're missing <!--break--> at the end of that section.
If you don't need the --> after the word 'thought,' then I would remove it. It gives the appearance of a tag bleeding through into your work.
There are also one or two issues with your HTML tags. A cleaned-up version which should avoid future problems is:

<!--break-->
I hope this helps. Please let me know if adding the break thingy resolves the issue.

Problem with PDF?
Many thanks PS, I have now put the !--break-- in the right place and will clean up my html headers, but this did not solve the PDF problem. However, your answer gave me the clue. I have found that if I insert div align="left" or div align="justify" immediately before text it becomes left aligned or justified in the pdf version.
I will now go through my previous chapters and clean them up.

Ah, Ok
Thanks for letting me know, and it's good that you have found a solution.
If you want to display < and > signs in messages like this, then you need to type < for less than (points left) and > for greater than, otherwise they'll be interpreted as tags. (Obviously my response to your message involved a fair bit of formatting—thank goodness for copy and paste!)
