Make the Sudoku grid an image, problem solved. Also, you can create tables as HTML in the listing, that way you also have a grid. Quote Link to comment
+niraD Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 An image is the easiest, most reliable approach. Getting a table to look right might be challenging, given the filtering that the site does on the HTML entered by cache owners. Quote Link to comment

I'll have to print the entire page if it's done in HTML. And don't worry about the image quality: just recently I saw a sudoku puzzle published where the guy solved this problem by just drawing the puzzle out freehand on a sheet of paper ripped from a notebook and then took a picture of it. Worked fine. Quote Link to comment

On my cache series that uses a Sudoku (http://coord.info/GC53M8H), I put a jpg image in the cache description page and also provided a link to a full-page PDF for those who wanted to print a full page Sudoku grid ahead of time.

+BCandMsKitty Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I agree the best is to put the Sudoku on in the form of a jpeg. Easiest to do when you're making the page, and easiest for folks to print out. Here's another example to see how it works. (cache is now archived) Quote Link to comment
+Run Around Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 Thanks Guys. However still having a problem. I have created a JPEG file for the puzzle, but it wont let me copy it into the Long Description Window. I have tried different ways of copying and pasting but it doesn't work. I notice that if I right click on the window the "Paste" instruction is greyed out. Do I need special privileges to copy pictures? Any suggestions are welcome. RUN AROUND. Quote Link to comment
+Harry Dolphin Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 You have to have the photo posted on the Internet somewhere first. On your cache page, use 'upload images'. That adds it to your cache page. Right click on the mage to get the url of the photo. Insert that on your page using the format: <img border="0" src="http://img.Groundspeak.com/cache/ xxxxx .jpg"> xxxx being the url without spaces. Actually, everything from src=" to "> is the url.
