Thanks Stefan, I'll try that. It's strange, though: At work, we're running 2.7.6 (and have used older versions in the past) and we have several logbooks with each at least one or two attributes with '?' and never had a problem with conditionals. Hence my surprise when this suddenly hit me with 2.8.1+ at home. Removing the '?' would be quite some work, as I'd have to change all logbooks and the associated data (the latter could probably be done with "rpl", I hope). I'll think about it.

No, '.txt' would definitely not be enough for me. I'm using elog to log all
administration of our network. In many cases, I simply attach a configuration
file. All those files are plain ASCII and none of them end in '.txt' - and I
would most definitely like them to be displayed inline like they are now. In
fact, this change was the main reason for me to upgrade to 2.5.4

Maybe a configuration option or a "display attachment" button would be the
best solution, then?

Cheerio,

I am currently trying to get some attributes into one line in my logbook, with some others on a line of their own (this is on the single message page) - pretty much like in this forum.
I searched through the forum and the config examples and found elog:571 as well as elog:Config+Examples/4, but I cannot get it to work.

In the forum, the "Subject:" line is on its own line and fills the whole line, which is what I want. In my logbook, the equivalent attribute does stand on its own line, but the 'value' only fills the space of the second column (i.e., if it was in this forum, the 'value' of "Subject" would be the same width as the icon above it and the rest of the line just blank).
As far as I can see, I'm using the "Format <attribute>=1" statements in the same way as in the example - and when I compare the resulting HTML, it also looks the same. I did notice, however, that you use different CSS classes for "Subject" and its value. Hence my question: To get "Subject" and its value to stretch over the full line, is there some fancy CSS footwork involved? I was not able to find the CSS file for this forum among the configuration examples - maybe you could add it?

Thanks in advance!

• Headings
  It would be great to have a range of
  ,
  , ... tags that map directly to their HTML counterparts (and have buttons, of course... ). That makes structuring an entry much easier in my opinion (and the output is easier to deal with for tools like html2ps) and I'm really missing those.
  
• Tables
  This one is probably more difficult to add, but support for simple tables would be enough. But this is more a "nice to have"...
