mis-aligned wikitext and rendered results (20.53 KB, image/png)

Description Dan Barrett 2011-10-12 17:55:40 UTC
Created attachment 9223 [details]
mis-aligned wikitext and rendered results

In MediaWiki 1.17.0 and its associated WikiEditor extension, click "Help" in the WikiEditor toolbar, and click Links. If the browser window is a certain size, the information in "What You Type" and "What You Get" does not line up, producing confusion for the new user.

In the attached screenshot, see that "[http://www.example.org]" lines up with "http://www.example.org", which is wrong.
Comment 1 Dan Barrett 2011-10-12 18:01:15 UTC
Multiple lines of help text are being placed in a single TD element, and several of these are being placed side by side. As a result, there is no horizontal alignment possible. Perhaps the Help section should be a real table with one row per line of text.
