Cleanup

Some things that ought to be cleaned up in the description of this task:

  • Provide some math notation describing the individual gates; that will be of some use to those not accustomed to thinking in schematic gate logic.
  • (Maybe?) individual images per-gate. Replace mentions of specific gates with their symbol, or...
  • Make gate-specific usages of the words AND, OR, NOT, XOR and their negated counterparts consistent in terms of capitalization and style.
  • My embedding job for the images isn't particularly stable, wrt coexistence with the pre blocks, but I don't have time atm to do a nice table for them. Whoever does...thank you? :)

Indeed I did the images thinking to describe the task more in a visual way instead of sticking to notation only...! ;; linked wikipedia gates page to avoid to have to do other images:D, I could add a little "lecture" about boolean notation and gates, but I suppose there must be a limit ;; more easily doable, I will do it (later);; --ShinTakezou 16:48, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
The images push down into the following code, which looks wrong. I think that entry headers should get the {clear: both} style? --Rdm 16:52, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
I can try that. It's going to slow the site down some to edit that particular template, though! Just beware... --Michael Mol 17:33, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
That did not seem to help, for me (I am using Chrome). Perhaps because the style is on a <span>?
http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/css/properties/classify/clear.htm says that css2 says that clear:both only works on block elements. So I made myself a local copy of the page (setting the base href so it still worked), and the images stopped overlapping the text for the C entry when I changed the raw html so it looked like this: <div class="mw-headline"><div style="clear:both"><a href="/wiki/Category:C" title="Category:C">C</a></div></div>
That is still not great, but maybe its a starting point? --Rdm 18:06, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Accidental reversion

Don't worry about the reversion of the C example. It can be brought back after the page activity has settled down a bit. I don't know why MW didn't warn Mwn3d about the intermediate change, but I'm not worried about it. --Michael Mol 17:55, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Anyway restored back sather impl adding to the current (after reversion) version; it could be I need a rest --ShinTakezou 17:56, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
