Hi,
What options, if any, are there for adding line breaks to text in the Admin > Customize > Text settings?
AI-generated summary
The discussion revolves around adding line breaks to text in the Admin > Customize > Text settings on Discourse. outofthebox initially inquires about available options, and simon suggests using Markdown to create line breaks in certain areas. However, when outofthebox asks about adding line breaks within js.review.approval.description, simon states it’s not possible due to the text rendering setup. outofthebox inquires about the possibility of future updates allowing this feature, and simon believes it’s technically possible but would require changes to the code rendering text in the modal window.
Depending on where the text gets displayed on Discourse, you can use markdown to create line breaks. Have a look at some of the existing templates to see how this is done. If you search for ‘education’ from the Text settings page, you’ll see a few good examples.
Thank you!
To be more specific, is it possible to add line breaks within js.review.approval.description?
I believe that I’ve tried most of the ways to add line breaks in that text but I may have overlooked the right one.
No, I don’t think it is possible to add line breaks to that text.
Thank you. That clarity helps!
Is it possible for the code to one day permit line breaks to be added there? Or is that a technical non-starter?
I’m sure it’s technically possible, but it looks like the code that’s used to render text in the modal window is not currently setup to render markdown.
Simon, thank you so much for this quick and helpful insight!
