[rdfweb-dev] css help for foaf spec?

Hiya

I'm trying to make a table of contents to 
go at top of new foaf spec, which offers a 
breakdown of foaf terms into several categories.

The 'foaf at a glance' page temporarily at 
http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/_toc.html is a prototype.

It's a hack, but (in Mozilla Firebird anyway) gives 
a flavour of what I'd like to achieve visually.

(ignore the categories and vocab itself for now.)

So i've tried laying them out with cargo cult CSS stuff 
I found at http://glish.com/css/8.asp but it all 
goes wrong when I get to the 2nd row, am now sure 
how best to attempt it. At moment I pad it out with a 
bunch of <br/><br/> etc but that ain't right.

help/suggestions/pointers welcomed. I wanted to get as 
much in a screenful as feasible, rather than do the 
traditional tech spec thing of spreading it out vertically 
so you have to scroll a lot to get a sense of what's in there.

I guess it should fall back to a flat sequence on CSS-crappy 
browsers.

In other news am making nice progress generating big chunks of 
spec from the RDFS/OWL source plus per-term documentation, 
which I'm managing on a file-per-term basis, with a chunk of HTML 
per term. I'm trying to keep that stuff brief, so that translations
will be easier...
