Talk:Mayan numerals
Cartouche display is messy for Chrome and Safari
It looks as if the the testing may only have been done with Firefox - the cartouches are ragged for Chrome and Safari. Particularly where their integer value is shown to the left with an arrow, which disrupts the vertical alignment for the rest of the line. Hout (talk) 18:12, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
PS the Perl 6 cartouche-rendering has already achieved a much better signal-to-noise ratio – perhaps worth standardising on something like that ? (Especially if there is a way of tweaking it for continuous (rather than dashed) horizontal 5-bars) Hout (talk) 19:51, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
possible a better rendering for the Mayan numerals
How does this rendering look versus the one on the task page? -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 22:50, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
- The Mayan numerals (and some random numbers) shown in the vertical format would be shown as

Note that the Mayan numeral 13 in horizontal format would be shown as:

- Just the same, alas – once you venture out of Firefox the left-hand numbers and arrows render a char or two wider, and break the vertical alignments of the character boxes to the right Hout (talk) 23:20, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
- Well, that's a bummer. I never expected a < pre > HTML tag to do that. -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 23:29, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
The 'default' keyword
In the change log I notice that you have written 'added underlining to the unique keyword, most people are missing that point'. I wonder if there is another way of expressing what you are after ? Readers might be forgiven for thinking that all numbers are equally 'unique'. Or are some a little less unique than others ? Hout (talk) 23:47, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
