My five cents:

SAN table:

<HTML> <HEAD> <STYLE> body { background-color: #a6cc80; font-size: 16px; } </STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <TABLE border=1 CELLSPACING=0> <TABLE> <TR> <TD></TD> <TD>ELR</TD> <TD>SAN</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD>French</TD> <TD align=center>2</TD> <TD align=center>4</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD>German</TD> <TD align=center>3</TD> <TD align=center>2</TD> </TR> </TABLE> </TABLE> </BODY> </HTML>

You can call to a pic that you own and know where is on the web. That is on your blog, or your web page. View the page on HTML mode (f12) and find the correct line to copy paste the image link on the formula <IMG SCR="">

Be kind and don't call to a heavy image that makes hard to open for VASL.

Edited: As you mention , if considered bad praxis, do it only in your "solo" games.

I agree: including external images is considered bad practice. It slows down the load time and the external resource is not controllable, hence prone to disappear.

What kind of pocket watch you guys running VASL on if you have to worry about images over the web....?

I always use "&ge" for equal or greater than, "&le" for equal or lesser than, "&lt" for lesser than and good ol' ">" for greater than.

Any suggestions for an HTML Editor for someone who has no greater ambition than creating a VASL playing aid or two fitting his own playing style and interest? Something that auto-formats the code (you try modifying a string containing the code for the entire aid) and easily tests the code result. Oh, and free of course.

Text Wrangler is free and will display HTML code in a nice format, but it will not help you code.

I use it in Windows and it is free.

Just take some of the code presented earlier in this thread and save it as a template and modify it from there.

I use the vertical turn tracker and the MMC, SMC, and SW holding boxes. I plan on using the OBA tracker.

For each set of a scenario's modified code, I save it in its respective scenario folder and refer it at a later date.

This thread was a lot better when it had pictures showing scenario bling.

I have every intention of stealing from the best, and "improving" it (a/k/a adapting to my purposes). Thx.

This would be great if people could reload. At present about 80% of the links don't work, and this is a great pity as there looks to be some great work here.

Dumb question here. Trying to copy/paste HTML into a blank label, and right-click does not work. I can paste with right-click ok into a blank Word doc but not into the field on the label. What am I missing here? I am using the latest versions of VASSAL and VASL as far as I know. I am mucking about off-line, though if that makes a difference.

Thanks!

Don't know why that does not work for you.
Try <CTRL><C> to copy and <CTRL><V> to paste by keyboard command.
