:{{reply to|Dmcgonagill}} Hm, that's too much, methinks. How about a table? Did you see another timeline you're using as a model? The problem with doing it this way is that you're formatting it for the width of '''your''' screen — make your width narrower and you'll see what I mean. It needs to be able to work on all-sized screens. Make sense? Here's another rule: no more <code><nowiki><div></nowiki></code> tags at all, please. In fact, no more HTML, OK? Use wiki formatting only. Thanks. 😁 —[[User:Grlucas|Grlucas]] ([[User talk:Grlucas|talk]]) 21:33, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

@Grlucas: Please help me with two editing issues for Appendix III. First, breaking a long entry at the midpoint so that it is somewhat centered under the main heading & the year sub heading. And, making my new second line match the format of the first for which I used {{in5|60}}. Thanks.(Dmcgonagill (talk) 19:28, 2 April 2019 (UTC))
