in reply to Nodelets' layout

No need to copy common.css, just add personal CSS to override the parts one wants to change. (How to customize CSS when anonymous is "not our problem". If you want easy customization, then log in; that's the purpose of logging in. If you log in, then you can even add JS that makes it so that when you post, it gets posted anonymously.)

The "(*)" for the link to Tidings in the "Information" nodelet was in the wrong place and has been moved. At least many of the unclosed LI tags have also been fixed.

It looks like jdporter was going for standardizing the style of "lists of link" with a distinction between "internal" links and "external" links. I much prefer the "| a | b | c" style for list of links that use very short title like is the case in some cabal-only nodelets.

I agree that the auto-wrapping "| a link to one thing | some other link to another | yet another link to something else" style is a worse choice for non-terse link descriptions like many of the links found in the "Information" nodelet.

So we probably need separate CSS classes for "terse lists" vs "non-terse lists".

It looks like some of the patches were applied before they were fully polished. But then, that's sometimes a good way to get decent feedback on the proposed changes.

Yes, the intent is indeed to use " | " in front of each link, at least for compact lists.

    But why before the first element in the list?? It gives the perception of sloppy coding and aesthetically it looks horrible.
