Even though this project is only written in Dutch language, you can see that a dull uninformative name list is now revealing mini biographies and where possible, their connection to the main subject of the project. This way the project has increased his informative capacity on it's subject in a compact and easy accessible way.

(This project is about a secret service dossier. The persons mentioned in this dossier are the profiles that need to be added to the project.)

very nice looking project, something to aspire to.

Nicely done Dimitri!

Dimitri Gazan WOW. I read and still understand but can't talk Dutch anymore. I had it as subject at University here in South Africa but it is so close to Afrikaans it is lovely. Thanks. Great idea.

Dimitri Gazan how do you get the text to line with top of image please?

Can you please paste code of one profile so I can copy methods?

Thanks

I sent you an invitation to collaborate with me on the Affaire Sweerts-Westerling in order for you to take a look at the wikicodes. If you have seen enough of that you do not have to be part of this Dutch project and leave. All up to you :)

This is one example of how to line with the top of an image:

{{//media.geni.com/p13/c4/12/11/f7/53444840e54a8fa5/ide_anak_agung_gde_agung_large.jpg?hash=662de37b3f7f69f727b9d19c443c3dac939dd8646fa899bf3e6ab89769141e0a.1745823599|40px|left}}

I have the image address, followed by the command to resize the image proportional: |40px|
Then I end the image address with the command that my image has to be outlined to the left of the project page;
|left

In order to create a list with short descriptions like in my project, depending on the size of the text, you need to use the 'break' tag, 1, 2 or 3 times in order to get your next image perfectly outlined to the left, straight under the first image.

These projects might be helpful for you to explore more possibilities:
