Concerning Inner Balance

Hi
May i ask what the reason for your revert of Inner Balance is?
The image at this link clearly show the currently second line to be in the same paragraph as the first line.

It's the same image I've been referring to myself, and it's quite clear that there's a row break and a new line after the intial two-line sentence. I've just been trying to keep the text(s) as close to the original cards as possible, unless it interferes with readability (such as with the capitalization of "Healer" on Greater Calling; I opted for simply bolding it instead.

Ok i see. And i agree with the idea to format the text based on the layout on the card.
However there are two points:
  • It is now not consistent with how all the other cards are written on this wiki.
  • In a skill table it is better to have as few lines as possible when using a skin which is wider than the default wikia skin (i myself use monobook),
If you look at some of the very first edits i did here, i did exactly the same thing. I even went a step further and did the line breaks exactly the same as shown on the card. But this just doesn't work when used in a table (it gets waaaay too long).
The way the other cards are done right now is:
  • double linebreaks as double linebreaks (e.g. Mace of Aver). These double linebreaks can be filtered on in the table-output. (see the code of Template:Skill_table, look for the #replace part).
  • 1.5 linebreaks as normal linebreak (e.g. Aria_of_War).
  • linebreaks within a normal paragraph --> no additional linebreak.
  • surge/action abilities always on their own line.
I hope you can see the reasoning behind this.
If you have any ideas for improvements on how the text from the cards could be displayed better please share them :)
