    Hi Attila,

    Attached is a link to my "Bio" page. It is formatted using the Styles tab, and the slider sits inside a generic Guterberg page with no Theme applied.

    I am having trouble formatting my biographical text in a single layer... can you help me figure out a workaround to format it thusly?

    1.) I want to force hard returns so there are blank lines between paragraphs. When I try to use a </p><p> tag in the text box (or even when I convert it to an HTML box), I lose my font size and color formatting. I tried a series of <br><br> tags, but that doesn't work either. I have even experimented with <div> and <span> tags (even with a   thrown in for good measure), but no luck. How can I force a hard return between paragraphs within a single text box layer?

    2.) It seems to ignore my <strong></strong> tags inline, as well as an inline email link <a href="mailto:[email protected]" target="_blank"></a>. How can I make these appear in that same text layer?

    Thanks again,

    Jim

    Hey Attila,

    The link to my Bio page doesn't show up in the post below.
    Here it is:

    Hello Jim,

    The problem is that you are trying to merge multiple text blocks and styles into one single layer. This is not a recommended method, as it can interfere with the layer's responsiveness or other attributes.

    I'd recommend to add a separate text layer for each block you want to create. And then format and style them with the built-in options in Styles tab. 

    This way, they will be definitely correct.

    Hmmmm.... well, I can control the style for the entire text layer, but it still ignores my inline tags.
    Even when I convert the text layer to a HTML layer, it still ignores my <strong> tag and <a href="mailto:> tag.

    Any ideas why that doesn't work, even as a HTML layer?

  • Jim replied

    OK, I separated the paragraph into separate text blocks, but I still cannot add an inline HTML text link. No <a href="mailto:>, no <strong>... Is there a trick to that? What do I do to make that work?

    Please do not use HTML code in your text layers. Instead, use the plugin's built-in options. They are guaranteed to work. You can use the Linking field in the Link & Attributes tab to link your text. And you can style your layers in their Styles tab.
