Layout on a mobile device

The forced two-column layout is nearly impossible to read on a mobile device. I attempted to fix this, but my edits were reverted. please suggest a fix here. Frietjes (talk) 13:53, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You are being, at best, disingenuous. Take a look at your "fix" again, which had the effect of constraining the table to a maximum width of 100em for all users, which looks ridiculous.

{| class="wikitable" style="font-size:90%; width:90%; max-width:100em; margin:2em auto 1em auto;"

then remove the max-width:100em. that seemed reasonable considering that poem itself is only 35em (we aren't talking about px units). are there other problems with accommodating for mobile browser windows? Frietjes (talk) 20:19, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Apart from the fact that I can't be arsed do you mean? Eric Corbett 21:20, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and the max-width parameter is there for the benefit of those readers with a wide monitor. Eric Corbett 21:28, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

right, so we should be using px units and not em units? Frietjes (talk) 21:29, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why? Eric Corbett 00:08, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

is your monitor 1000em wide or 1000px wide? Frietjes (talk) 00:32, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Neither. But we're talking about the maximum width of the table display anyway, not how it looks on my monitor. Eric Corbett 00:50, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've had a look at this on four different screen sizes, including mobile; it is easily read in the current two column format on all my devices. SagaciousPhil - Chat 15:43, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sagaciousphil, this is what it looks like on my phone: File:The Laird o' Cockpen on Samsung phone.png. if the notes would automatically drop below the main text on a narrow screen, the text would much easier to read. I don't know if it can be accomplished with {{div col}} using something like User:Frietjes/LoC1 or if {{col-float}} would work. Frietjes (talk) 20:57, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
