[ZK] The main thing is the use of tables, which unfortunately is the one thing
Dr Qu+xum's excellent HTML reference doesn't cover, despite its abundant use of them. I wrote a Perl script to generate the empty table, and then filled it in with the moves, but then I'm sad like that. Quite happy to provide you with a bespoke empty table if you like. (Can you tell I'm looking for work avoidance excuses?)
Very quick introduction:
<table> starts a table,
<tr> starts a row of a table and
<td> starts an individual cell. As with most other tags inserting a slash in the appropriate place closes them off again. So a basic 2 row, 3 column table would be generated by:
<table>
<tr>
<td>Cell 1</td><td>Cell 2</td><td>Cell 3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Cell 4</td><td>Cell 5</td><td>Cell 6</td>
</tr>
</table>
which produces:
| Cell 1 | Cell 2 | Cell 3 |
| Cell 4 | Cell 5 | Cell 6 |
Slightly more advanced stuff: The
<table> tag can include attributes like border, cellpadding and so on, which produce various different effects; these are the same sort of things as color=red in a font tag. Also of note are the colspan and rowspan attributes which can be applied to the td tag -- eg
<td colspan=2> would make the cell it applied to double size. You can specify a
bgcolor, one of the mainstays of this game, and the
width attribute which says how much of the table each column should take up -- I think percentages are best from the point of view of cross-browser compatibility. And finally,
this is the HTMLHelp.com entry on tables where they probably explain everything much better than I can.
