Talk:The Herbarium

Maybe a vertical layout would be a better presentation, such as...

Effect

 * A quite virulent poison, it can cause great damage and even death instantly upon ingestion of the oils from the herb, which must first be extracted.

Description

 * Achorion Mould is a purple-grey mould or fungus.

or

Angel's Trumpet
This would probably look better if I could set vertical align to top and remove the cell borders.

Either way, the ToC can be used to find herbs quickly too.

I'm not sure.

Your two examples on this page look fine individually but I think they would be harder to read as part of a list of over 15 herbs?

The lines of the table make it easier to see at a glance where one item starts and the next ends.

Maybe if we had horizontal rules between each one, like this?

Also, Drydon's Herbal and Plants of Genua already use a list format. It's nice to have the Herbarium as a quick look up table, as an alternative.
