But for other extras such as tilde, go to the numeric choice, hold down <\= or something like that (where shift is on the alphabetic map) and I get a whole load of other symbols including ~.
Yes, zooming in puts the text behind the navigation icons with the new stylesheets. If I use my phone upright, the default text is readable (with my glasses on), but the command boxes are of course far too narrow. They do scroll (without scrolling the rest of the text sideways), even though no scrollbar is visible. If i put the phone in landscape mode it mostly reads ok - but i have to scroll some way down to get a '>' navigation icon. On page 6.4 I keep having to scroll and and down to get the '>' to return (it does not show once I have scrolled down past the middle of the Note at the bottom). Hmm, that seems to be generally true - need to scroll (or swipe) up a bit, then down until it appears. Of course, the same problem if I zoom the text. Then I tried the current LFS book in landscape mode: 1. On the index, it is possible to scroll a long way to the right, so that all the text disappears and all I see if a white background. 2. On the pages, the text is too small to read withou difficulty. Zooming works, but for the text part I have to keep scrolling to right and then to left to read it. 3. The navigation links are easy to find. (In landscape mode the current version is more or less unusable - text tiny, and when zoomed in the screen is too narrow to be able to read more than a word or two.) If I had to read the book on my mobile, I would be in two minds about either set of stylesheets. I have heard of commercial sites using different stylesheets for mobiles (or sometimes different sites, e.g. m.foo.com instead of www.foo.com) but I have no idea what that involves. Too me, stylesheets are at the far edge of magic, verging into sourcery (think Discworld - sourcery is ++ungood). Oh dear, I can see that my mobile bill might be going up now that I've got a decent browser on it, found where the rest of the keyboard went to, and (hopefully) configured k9 to send plain text. ĸen -- This one goes up to eleven: but only on a clear day, with the wind in the right direction. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
