Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Offsets

[Wayne Beaton <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The page is just a start. My intent is to create a page that just shows
each project with its description for now. I thought it would be better
to show this early on so that we could collectively massage it into an
acceptable form.

We did a pretty poor job of describing what the paragraphurl is for and
so there is great variety in the contents of the "paragraph" (some have
bulleted lists, some have the project name in a title, others pull in
images, ...). I'm attempting to use automation to come up with some way
to normalize it. A lot of people use <br/> to signify the end of a
paragraph.

For completeness, I'm looking for a single paragraph that describes the
project. I'm using the term "paragraph" to mean a few sentences. Given
the context in which this is used, some consistency in format would be
good, so I'd like to avoid bulleted lists and such.

HTH,

Wayne
