Labeled contents on more than one line

Support Ticket

Anything that's included as labeled is restricted to just one line. (Or maybe just three items? I can't tell. The CSS only recognizes the first three items.) Where does the CSS specify this? I'd like to try building up a different display, or at least one that will wrap to multiple lines .

 

I'm pretty sure this is handled in code, not CSS (a look at the HTML should confirm or deny this). There are at least two ideas that may be relevant to this:

handle truncated content in labeled view better

fix labeled view handling of multi-line content

Why is it so important to keep labeled view to one line? Being able to expand and collapse that one line if there's more data seems like the most useful way to express that there's more to see and let the user see it. Clicking away to a completely different card takes you away from the content you were after.

 

Hmm. I suppose I was just using it because it seemed to provide an automatic set of styles that were useful for setting information apart. I had thought it would be good to use pointer cards, because these fields take discrete pieces of information. But pointer cards only show up as closed view if you include them. Unless you include them as Labeled. So I'm not sure how else I could achieve what I'm after...

 

Btw, how do I get new text styles to appear in the editor dropdown menu? Because I'd need to do that if I'm going to completely change a bunch of things that are currently labeled to titled.

The one line thing was just the initial impetus behind adding the labeled view (it's fairly recent). No one objects in principle to handling multiline data with labeled or a similar view, it's just not on our immediate roadmap.

 

Regarding styling the editor dropdown menu I don't know if that's possible. In any case, it sounds like a separate support ticket.

Can I implement showing a Pointer card the way Labeled view does on my own (as links)? Or is that not CSS either?

That's how they work by default:

{{Labeled contents on more than one line+tags|labeled}} :

I know that's how labeled works by default. My question is whether Pointers can be made to look like links under Titled, for instance.

--Lora Friedenthal.....2013-10-12 04:40:00 +0000

Ah. Yes, like this:

{{Labeled contents on more than one line+tags|titled|link}} :

--John Abbe.....2013-10-12 04:42:21 +0000

Ah! A revelation!
