[edit] Instructions

[edit] Adding a new year

The easiest way is to copy and paste an existing year, and edit it as needed. It should be placed at the very end, but before the closing </table> tag.
- Years begin with: <tr>
- And end with: </tr>
When adjusting the height of a year, the value must be changed in both <td> elements.
- Note: if adjusting the height of an existing year, be sure to readjust the placement of individual items if needed (see below).

[edit] Adding new events

To add new items to the timeline, place them in the first <td> for the appropriate year. Again, copying and pasting an existing item is probably the easiest way.
- Notice that each item has in front {{f|top=0px|t=.
- This can be used to vertically position the item. By increasing this number, the item moves down, decreasing moves it up. Negative numbers are allowed.
