Text to accompany specific pages--how?

SaraRaye · Post by **SaraRaye** » Fri Apr 19, 2002 1:28 pm

I've been browsing Keenspace comics and I've seen how there is text with comics in the archive, and it varies from page to page. I've seen a mention of a .txt file with the same date as the comic you want it to appear with. How would I go about ensuring this shows on my page?

I hope this all makes sense.

Keenspace displays files from your "comics" folder alphabetically. So if your comic for today is name20020419.gif, then the contents of name20020419.txt will appear underneath the comic.

If you want the text above the comic, you can use letter suffixes to make the order fit your plans: name20020419<b>a</b>.txt will appear above name20020419<b>b</b>.gif .

The contents of the text file can even be a snippet of HTML code, so if your file contains this:

<table>
  <tr>
    <td width=100% border=1>
      Your Text Here
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

...then you will get your text within a table on your page.

[edit]
You place these .txt files in "workspace/comics" along with your comic files. They will then be moved by the updater along with the comics and will show up on the correct archive pages.
