Hi everybody,

has anyone got a clue what has happened here:

http://www.geni.com/projects/Geni-lijst-van-verzetsstrijders-The-Ge...

the first line of the project has all of a sudden a different font type

It had a space!

Sorry, Terry, what do you mean by that? I see you corrected it though :) Cheers.

It looked like the font Wiki uses, am I right? But how could this happen?

It's a foible of Wiki text that if there's a space at the beginning of the line it changes the font. I don't really understand why but that's all I did - back spaced from the first letter deleting a space.

Did you add the pretty blue lines to the Famous First project?

Nope, but I am honoured that it is used already lol. If you have suggestions for other designed lines, dots/colours shapes whatever, let me know

The foible probably only appears at the first line of a project.

If you take a look at this project the font shows up just here and there ..weird

As it happens I've been working a lot on famous firsts over the last couple of days. I have fixed most of these 'strange' incidences. I've left a couple for you to experiment - Wikitext doesn't like ' or spaces where it doesn't expect them so for example 'slicones' I changed so it was italicised. "silicones"

Corrected by removing the ' and replacing it by italic:

1863 Thomas Cook

Same trick here:

1905 Ernest Henry Starling

and here:

1936 Alan Mathison Turing

and here:

1997 Thrust SSC

==============

Apparently here it doesn't form a problem:

1890 The first deep level electric underground railway opened in London.Charles Pearson, the first in a succession of underground visionaries. It was he who first proposed the notion of ‘trains in drains’ in 1845, when the railway was a relatively new invention (the first steam passenger service only opened in 1830).

1916 The 'Tank' - The first effective tracked and armoured fighting vehicle, invented by the British soldier and scholar Ernest Swinton, and first used in the Battle of the Somme 1916.
