MGR: Wiki page formatting.

I've spent few minutes playing around with the front page of the Kalyr
Wiki, trying to reproduce the layout of the front page of my own site.

http://www.phoenyx.net/cgi-bin/twiki/bin/view/Kalyr/WebHome

I've used a table for layout; what does a text only browser like Lynx
do to it?

	Lynx puts the links on the left ("Contents" through "Zul's tale") up 
first, and then below it, it starts with "The World Of Kalyr" and your 
intro text, ending with "Tim Hall, 2001" (below that are the phoenyx 
links, sitesearch etc.)

The World of Kalyr

   The ancient kandar civilisation of Kalyr has stood for a thousand years, protected by the watchful eyes of the Guardians.

   But now their long reign is threatened. The human slaves, kidnapped across the dimensions generations ago, tire of
   servitude and beginning to rebel. Beyond the lands of kandar rule, barbarian kingdoms descended from runaway slaves grow
   in strength. All the time. the long- running war with the mountain- dwelling zughru slowly wears them down.

   In the decadent kandar cities, political, religious and guild factions scheme and plot as they have always done. The
   honour of the clan, and the status in the guild matter above all!

   The wizards are worried. Some of their number have detected something strange happening with the fabric of space and time.
   Have the mirrors reopened? Will the horrors of ancient times return again?

Though it suddenly occurs to me:  you probably shouldn't be doing that
within the wiki pages.  Better you should get a different skin, to apply
across the Kalyr web.

You're probably right; I need to get my head round skins and the like.

Although it you look at the source for that page, there's no actual
content at all.  

I'm sure there used to be a Wiki Wiki somewhere on the site, which
told you how to set up templates and stuff, but I couldn't find it/

I'm not sure about putting the table of contents on every single page;
my original kalyr.com site didn't do that.

Don't rush.  The Wiki is probably going to be replaced.

Well, yeah.

Wiki web, you mean.  Look in the TWiki web.

I'm thinking CSS, so you can put things in the sidebar without so much
work.  Includes, that kind of thing.

I hope there will be a migration path for the all the content I've put
there.

Not so much a "migration path" as "they'll still work the same."
