Leveraging Lists and Line Breaks in a Text Popup

Post by ecjoe »

Hi,

Is there a workaround for adding an unordered/ordered list or line breaks to a text popup?

No. A text popup is just that, text. If you want more advanced formatting like lists, then you have to use a topic popup instead. Or write your own Javascript code to have a DIV show/hide and format the DIV as you want. That will require more work in the back-end code, but theoretically it should work. For online outputs anyway. If you're single sourcing to PDF output then you might have to modify the style of the DIV to put it inline in the page instead of the popup it is for online output.

Hi Lisa,

OK. I was hoping that there was a simple workaround to this limitation. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.
