Lutetia was renamed Paris after the city of Ys (it is said that Ys was the most wonderful city in the world) was destroyed, because "Par-Is" in Breton means "Similar to Ys".
Is that right? I thought Paris was named after the Parisi tribe. This looks like a candidate for Wetman's "Legend states..." prize. Adam Bishop 20:44, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Distracting blank spaces
Formatting that encases the framed table of contents in text, in just the way a framed map or image is enclosed within the text, is now available: {{TOCleft}} in the HTML does the job.
Blank space opposite the ToC, besides being unsightly and distracting, suggests that there is a major break in the continuity of the text, which may not be the case. Blanks in page layout are voids and they have meanings to the experienced reader. The space betweeen paragraphs marks a brief pause between separate blocks of thought. A deeper space, in a well-printed text, signifies a more complete shift in thought: note the spaces that separate sub-headings in Wikipedia articles.
A handful of thoughtless and aggressive Wikipedians revert the "TOCleft" format at will. A particularly aggressive de-formatter is User:Ed g2s
The reader may want to compare versions at the Page history. --Wetman 19:55, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
