Subject: Headings with the word "Content" are formatted oddly

Part of our wiki is a glossary of web terminology, with terms shown as headings (H5) and their definitions shown as plain text below. However, when a heading is made for the term "Content", it no longer formats the word "Content" as a normal H5 heading. Instead the word "Content" is indented, the usual horizontal rule line beneath is omitted, and a partial box around "Content" is drawn. On the bright side, the font used to display "Content" is the correct H5 font. The same problem happens when trying H3, H4, and H6 for the word "Content", (indented, no horizontal line, and partial box, but correct font.)

We are using the MonoBook template and the word "Content" seems to be the only word that produces such an effect. Any ideas?!

Thanks,
-Ryan

That's because the monobook template uses ids named "content" to format parts of the document. See

lib/tpl/monobook/monobook/main.css, Line 18:

#content {
    margin: 2.8em 0 0 12.2em;
    padding: 0 1em 1.5em 1em;
    background: white;
    color: black;
    border: 1px solid #aaa;
    border-right: none;
    line-height: 1.5em;
    position: relative;
    z-index: 2;
}

A quick hack could be:

1.) Change the above part to

div.content {
    margin: 2.8em 0 0 12.2em;
    padding: 0 1em 1.5em 1em;
    background: white;
    color: black;
    border: 1px solid #aaa;
    border-right: none;
    line-height: 1.5em;
    position: relative;
    z-index: 2;
}

2.) Open the file

lib/tpl/monobook/main.php, Line 57:

Change that to

But monobook is a complex layout, that may affect other parts I'm not aware of at the moment. At least now you got an idea what's the reason for this behavior. Good luck

Template authors should always make sure used ID's won't clash with headline IDs. This is explained at http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:devel:javascript#using_ids but I'll add the info to http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:devel:css as well. Please report this problem to the temlate author.

Read this if you don't get any useful answers.

Pk & andi,

Many thanks, we'll try that out and also let the template author know about that change.
