"Dans le haut de la rue des halles" roughly translates to "in the top part of the street." the difference is the "dans" which shows that the top of the street is where the Hollandais are heroes.

If I say "C'est écrit en haut de la page" it means "the thing is written on top of the page". If I say "C'est écrit dans le haut de la page" it means "the thing is written in the top part of the page".

maybe im structuring this wrong but whats the diff between "c'est écrit dessus" et "c'est écrit en haut"

[plucky scarab]

"If I say "C'est écrit en haut de la page" it means "the thing is written on top of the page". " when u say this do u mean at the top or directly on top like on it

[winged island]

At the top

"C'est écrit dessus" means "it is written on"

[plucky scarab]

c'est écrit en haut de la page" is not understood as "c'est écrit au dessus de la page" right?

[winged island]

No

[plucky scarab]

so its basically just another way of saying "dans le haut de la page"

[winged island]

I actually never heard "dans le haut de la page" before, but yes they are close in meaning

[plucky scarab]

like dans le haut could be understood as the general upper part of something

[winged island]

Yes
