alignment of elements on the cover page (custom)

Post by Gimber78 »

hello!
I'm trying to add a statement to the cover page.
the data is taken from metadata.
I have created additional classes, but I can't align them in any way.

I want to receive

job title ______ user1
job title ______ user2
..........

which display option should I use?


in bookmeta

Code: Select all

        <othermeta name="sign" content="approve:"/>
        <othermeta name="sign1-tjob" content="job title"/>
        <othermeta name="sign-line1" content="_______________"/>
        <othermeta name="sign1-name" content="user1"/>
        <othermeta name="sign2-tjob" content="job title"/>
        <othermeta name="sign-line2" content="_______________"/>
        <othermeta name="sign2-name" content="user2"/>
        <othermeta name="sign3-tjob" content="job title"/>
        <othermeta name="sign-line3" content="_______________"/>
        <othermeta name="sign3-name" content="user3"/>
<!--        <othermeta name="sign4-tjob" content="job title"/>
        <othermeta name="sign-line4" content="_______________"/>
        <othermeta name="sign4-name" content="user4"/>-->
in style.css

Code: Select all

Hello,

Could this problem be considered as solved? If yes maybe you could share the updated CSS in case other people want to realize a similar output.

Regards,
Julien
