[Gramps-devel] Narrative Web: Example Site

[Jason S. <jsi...@gm...>]

Hello,

I have finally prepared a working example of my updated NarrativeWeb.py
script output as well as my Nebraska CSS stylesheet, an updated
rendition of the Modern CSS stylesheet and a default Print CSS
stylesheet.

I was going to build a test database, but that would take too long.
Maybe in the future. For now, this is my complete database, so please be
kind to my personal information.

I took advantage of the 'alternate stylesheet' option in XHTML so that
you can review these three stylesheets without going to different sites.
I exported it with the Modern stylesheet as default, but you can pick
and choose between the others. All of the existing stylesheets are there
too, but I have only worked with the three specified above. Here's how
to switch stylesheets:

Firefox
Main Menu/View/Page Style

Konqueror
Main Menu/View/Use Stylesheet

Opera
Main Menu/View/Style (and go all the way to the bottom)
Toolbar/Author mode (and go all the way to the bottom)

Safari and Internet Explorer
(From what I know, you can't do this with these browsers. Maybe in
IE7...)

If you aren't familiar with media-specific stylesheets:

Basically, the Print stylesheet would only be used if you try to print a
page from the site. However, for this example, I have also set the Print
stylesheet as an alternate so that you can view it on-screen.

If you have it, Konqueror is pretty slick since it keeps the stylesheet
you choose active until you change it again. The other browsers keep
flipping back to the default style sheet every time you go to a new
page.

I hope you find my version of the Modern Style a refreshing update.
Also, the print stylesheet is focused on a classy and efficient printed
presentation. The Nebraska style feels a little inflated, but it is easy
on the eyes and I think will be good for older viewers as well.

Let me know what you think,
