Help with Columns
Hopefully somebody better at wiki than me can help. How can I set the column widths to be the same please? You'll see under the 'number and counters' section, the widths go all over the place and it looks ugly. Can somebody help, onegai? --JessicaTOhayo gozaimasu! 14:47, 26 June 2008 (EDT)
- I've cleaned it up some. You might want to consider moving it into one large table and takeing out the '*' (ol) that is not being used properly. Something like this...
| Objects | |
| Counter | Represents |
| hon æ¬ | Long, cylindrical objects: trees, pens, etc. |
| mai æ | Flat, thin objects: paper, sheets, etc. |
| ko å | Broad category of small and compact items; also military units |
| hai æ¯ | Liquid in cups, glasses, bowls, etc. |
| satsu å | Bound objects,books, magazines, etc. |
| dai å° | Vehicles, machines, etc. |
| kai é | Floors of a building |
| ken 件 | Houses, buildings, etc. |
| soku 足 | pairs of footwear, socks, sandals, etc. |
| tsuu é | Letters |
| Duration | |
| Counter | Represents |
| jikan æé | Hour, as in ni-jikan = 2 hours |
| fun å | Minute, as in go-fun = 5 minutes |
| byou ç§ | Second, as in sanjuu-byou = 30 seconds |
| hi æ¥ | Day, as in go-hi = 5 days |
| shuukan é±é | Week, as in san-shuukan = 3 weeks |
| kagetsu ãæ | Month, as in ni-kagetsu = 2 months |
| nenkan å¹´é | Year, as in juu-nenkan = 10 years |
| Animals | |
| Counter | Represents |
| hiki å¹ | Insects, fish, small animals (dogs, cats, etc.) |
| tou é | Large animals, cows, horses, etc. |
| wa ç¾½ | Birds |
| Frequency | |
| Counter | Represents |
| kai å | Times, as in ni-kai(twice) |
| do 度 | Times, as in ichi-do (once) |
This way, it is one large table and you can move the section heading around within the table. --Rutm 14:52, 26 June 2008 (EDT)
