Lines of Text squishing up



I have tried several ways to put in a big block of text (about 70 lines) with lots of one liners, using frontpage and then publisher, but the text lines keep running into each other every 15th line or so, I have put it up on a temporary website if you would like to look and advise.... can some one help, I am hoping that it would only be something simple that I have overlooked..... can you help please

The data you're trying to display is a list, or i would say that's what it's closest to.

Try formating it as such:

PHP Code:
<ul>


<!-- 
Events in Feb -->
<
li>February

<ul>
<
li>Tues 1st Childers Cubs meet today from 6 8.00pm at the Childers Scout Hall.</li>
<
li>Tues 1st Childers JKA Karate training7pmIsis Cultural Centre</li>
<
li>etc.</li>
</
ul>

</
li>

<!-- 
Events in March -->
<
li>March

<ul>
<
li>Tues 1st QCWA meets at the Cottage for Friendship and a St Patricks Day craft Project9.30am</li>
<
li>Tue 1st Childers Cubs meet today from 6 8.00pm at the Childers Scout Hall.</li>
<
li>etc.</li>
</
ul>

</
li>

</
ul


If it's not clear what I've done I suggest you google for some html list tutorials, it would also be possible to display the data using a table, although I think a list would be more appropriate.

tried that.....

Hi, thanks for the quick reply. I did try putting it in a table, but with 15 pages of similar text and with a change of text every 2 months It actually was a mammoth task and I still had problems with the text changing, like line spacing, I couldnt get the line spacing even.

I looked at some list tutorials, but I didnt want to put in "bullets", is there any way of doing something like a list without the bullets.

Also, I just wondered why the lines bunched up every so many lines, do you know?? is there a terminology I should be looking for

Thanks

You just need to style your list.
If you don't want any bullet or circle or number or whatever, you use
Code:
ul {
  list-style-type:none;
  }

You'll also need to specify things like margin, padding and line-height (or just height) for both 'ul' and 'li'. If you don't do this, you'll have all sorts of display problems - especially in IE.
