Lets say I have 2 columns with a billion lines in each here's how they begin:
Column 1
I said
She said
it said
Column 2
you're amazing
he's awesome
enough already
I've tried highlighting column 1 and splitting it into lines CTRL+L but then how would I combine column 2's lines to each of colum 1's lines properly to make 1 legible column?
I'm not 100% sure that I understand what you want to do but if I do then...
Use multiple selections like this:
Hope this helps and is in fact what you want to do. :)

I am building a site, and am trying to create a page where I can talk about some of the coding projects I have done. I have used grids for the majority of my site, and would like to keep it consistent throughout but I can't seem to find a way to have a box span to the end of its column, and then and then continue into the next row starting the first column. I have looked through the css documentation, and also through stack overflow, and am a little surprised this question hasn't been raised before. My grid is made up of 3 rows and 4 columns, so its 12 total boxes. I want to start in the first row, third column and span the rest of the column, and then continue into the second row, and starting with the first column span all the way until the end, and then continue into the third row and span the first two columns. The reason I want to do this is that boxes 1 and 2, and 11 and 12 will contain images, and the big area I am trying to create will contain text, so the text will wrap nicely around the images. If you could help me out, or suggest another way in which this can be done I would be appreciative. What I am trying to accomplish, I want to put one block of text in the area that starts with 3 and ends with 10
Newbie Alert! I'm asking this question, because management is in a hurry! They want seven pages done by yesterday. So I need some advice, quickly.
I have requirements to create a div that looks similar to the following picture:
This question is about Layout. I'm using the standard HTML dropdowns.
First: I started off by using 1 row with 4 columns. But then I found it difficult to align my labels (black squares on the left) with the dropdowns.
Second: Then I thought maybe I should create 7 rows, each with 4 columns, so I could better align the contents of each row.
Third: But given that I have to add the Help "?" button with the text, I started wondering if I should use an in-line-block. Also, by this time, I think I may be making the code more complicated than it needs to be.
So, what I am asking is:
What is the simplest and (or) most effective method to create a layout like this?
Perhaps, I need only 2 columns; one for the labels, Help buttons, and dropdowns, and the second column for the text boxes. My idea is that if I'm trying too hard, I'm probably doing it wrong! How would you do this?
Thanks for suggestions.
I have a small issue when rendering my report.
I'm pulling a list of objects on an agreement, each object has an undefined character length, some consist of several lines of text, others a single line.
Issue is, each row that contains a large amount of text is moving to a new page in entirety, what I would like to happen is that the row split across on to the next page.
In other words, if a page can only take 5 more lines/rows and a single row hold 15 lines of text, then I want the first 5 lines of the row on the bottom of the current page and then the remaining 10 lines of text moved to the top of the next page.
I've played with all the row grouping settings in SSRS with no luck.
I hope my explanation makes sense.
Thanks in advance,
Dane
Rather than break a row into multiple pages, have you considered transforming your data set by breaking large rows up into multiple smaller rows?
I need to have two different types of footnote references on the same HTML text, one with numbers (1,2,3...), the other with letters (a,b,c...).
Ideally, I would have a paragraph in the left column of a two-column table -- this is the main paragraph, i.e. the master text.
The right column would contain numbered footnotes to certain words of the paragraph in the left column. Just below this, I would have a unified row (with one column) containing a,b,c footnotes to certain words in the main paragraph above.
Is this even possible in HTML? How to implement this?
In case HTML cannot support this, what alternatives do you suggest?
Thanks
There are two links that will be of help to you. Firstly read this previous question in SO which explains how to create hyperlinked footnotes:
How do I create a link to a footnote in HTML?
Further, if you want to make the reference character superscript or subscript here is an excellent example:
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_sup
So, combined you can do something like this:
<p>Some text that has a reference<a id="ref-1" href="#ref-1"><sup>1</sup></a></p>
which appears like so:
Some text that has a reference1
I hope this is the sort of thing you're looking for.
I have a good amount of content that stores their data in a database with plenty of whitespace, which shows how they want it to display on page. Stackoverflow can change it up with the code tag. (the second way is how it looks in the database, and how they want it to display, the first way is how it currently is display) Is there anything I can do with the existing html?

Edit: Hoping not to use the pre tag. Maybe taking my Model (lets say Model.MyHtml) and applying something to check for whitespace, but I am not sure how...

I think I found a way to preserver the whitespace and keep the style. good ol' css (i had forgotten about this)
white-space: pre-wrap;
or pre-line works if you don't want tabs
