[opencms-dev] Totally lost with list and detail page

[Alex Kandzior]

Gerd,

you are on the right track. 

The container type of the container tag must match the one configured in the function element (or formatter).
So setting both types to "center" or "somethingother" should work.
 
You should not use the "width" together with the type, only either the type or the width. 
"width" does not make no sense in modern respinonsive layouts so I consider it deprecated, but it still is supported.

Your function element also needs to generate some output. 
If the function element does not generate any output, it can not be dropped even if the container types match.
<h1>Hello world</h1> would word.

HTH

Kind regards,
Alex.
