I have a request to renovate the forms data display. As always, it is best to find out if anyone has undertaken adding proper formating to this part of the program?
They want line breaks added to the layout and want it to look more like a real document layout even though this is not for printing it is for display purposes only. They feel it would make the readability better.

Assuming you are talking about layouts with their rigid 4 columns for 80 width display, here is what we do. Deconstuct output into a generic label=>data model and use view as
data.
Add multicolumns styling with each view into appropriate number of html columns for browser to render it. Here is one result from our portal:

If you are happy with current 4 column layout, you can try a quick cosmetic fix we had previously. Add “report_results” class to the table. With our theme patch in place, browser will use alternating background colored rows to improve readability.

I have some pretty big LBF changes coming up, so you might want to hold off a bit if this is not urgent. But no big deal either way.

Ok, will stand down for now and wait for the changes that are planned.
Thanks for the heads up Rod!
