Adding an event to the timeline

It will sometimes be necessary to make a value judgement into which column something will fit. If that column is already "full", then another row can be added.

The columns will remain the same width, and any long text will wrap onto extra lines automatically. It will also be vertically aligned.

Please keep the text as short as possible - if you feel that more information is needed, it is usually possible to add a hyperlink to a website such as Wikipedia!!

Click on [edit]

You will see the code:

Adding an event:

Count along the row and just type in the spaces - be careful to leave || in between each item.

| DATE || MONARCH || type in here || type in here || type in here || type in here

Adding a new row:

Each row in the list needs:

|-valign="top"

| DATE || MONARCH || type in here || type in here || type in here || type in here

N.B. One | at the beginning of the line

N.B. Nothing at the end of the line
