jquery - Dot leaders with text that may wrap -


i'm trying work out how have leader between text may wrap. leader should have variable width , work when when there 1 word on either side.

here example:

lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. nulla massa neque, laoreet @ euismod vitae, aliquet quis. ....... curabitur tellus justo, malesuada eget egestas ac, consequat sed neque.

i have tried solutions @ http://www.w3.org/style/examples/007/leaders.en.html , in other similar questions here (css dot leaders textured background & table of contents: leading dots). unfortunately none of work when both sides of text wrap.

i have fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/crstop/vkdgj/12/ closest have gotten solution. works fixed width of leader dots isn't ideal.

html:

<ul class=leaders>     <li>         <span>the text on left of leaders. text can rather long ,          may wrap line. leader should start @ end of ,                continue until reaches beginning of right side text</span>         <span class="dotsa"></span>         <span>this right side text.this text can rather long , may wrap          line. </span>    </li>    <li><span>one</span><span class="dotsa"><span>word</span> </ul>

css:

ul.leaders {     padding: 0;     overflow-x: hidden;     list-style: none; } ul.leaders .dotsa:before {     width: 0;     white-space: norrmal;     background: white;     vertical-align: center;     content:". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "             ". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "; } ul.leaders span:first-child {     padding-right: 0.33em;     background: white; } ul.leaders span + span + span {     float: right;     padding-left: 0.33em;     background: white; }

i pure css solution i'm willing use jquery if isn't possible in css only. must work in ie8+ , ff17+

with html:

<div class="leader">   <span>peter piper picked peck of pickled peppers. peck of pickled peppers peter piper picked. if peter piper picked peck of pickled peppers, where's peck of pickled peppers peter piper picked?</span>   <span>the peck of pickled peppers peter piper picked gone.</span> </div> <div class="leader">   <span>really?</span>   <span>really.</span> </div>

and css:

.leader {   position: relative;   overflow: hidden;   z-index: 0; } .leader > span {   background-color: white; } .leader > span:first-child:after, .leader > span:last-child:before {   position: absolute;   background-color: white;   z-index: -1;   content: "................................................................"     "................................................................"     "................................................................"     "................................................................"     "................................................................"     "................................................................"     "................................................................"     "................................................................";   letter-spacing: 0.25em;   cursor: default; } .leader > span:last-child {   float: right;   background-color: white;   text-align: right; } .leader > span:last-child:before {   left: 0; }

you should have results. can play around on codepen if like.

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers ...
