[rdfweb-dev] css help for foaf spec?

[Dan Brickley]

Thanks to Cardinal in IRC (Matt McClanahan), this is 
now looking a lot more plausible. Updated version of 
http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/_toc.html uses CSS float and 
with a bit of tweaking should do the job.
http://mmcc.cx/danbri2 was a variant with fixed size 
for the boxes, if you're interested.

cheers,

Dan
