older newer - styling the default

how do i style the older and newer links? i’ve tried putting a space then a “ | “ symbol between the two to separate them a little, but then if older is on it’s own you still see the divider. “older |” does anyone have any good examples?

Is this any good? Doesn’t use a | though.
<txp:older><txp:text item="«older«" /></txp:older> <txp:newer><txp:text item="»newer»" /></txp:newer>

You could also use showalways="1". Or style them something like this:

<txp:older><span style="float:left;">older</span></txp:older>
<txp:newer><span style="float:right;">newer</span></txp:newer>

Isn’t this the perfect candidate for if_first_article / if_last_article? Until now I only used it in list mode, but Textbook states: It will display in both single article and article list modes.

thanks for the replies everyone. this idea looks pretty good. when i try it out, it will likely replace the one i was doing where i had a million &nbsp’s to space out the “newer” to the right side. and i can use images/arrow characters as well
