I want to change the text on the sign in page, but I can’t seem to get a paragraph or line break, what formatting codes, if any, can be used when customizing text?
AI-generated summary
The discussion revolves around formatting text when customizing the sign-in page. MikeNolan wants to add line breaks to the text but is having trouble. pfaffman suggests using CSS for line breaks, while Lilly thinks it might require a plugin or component.
However, Don points out that the section is html-safe, allowing the use of <br> for line breaks, and Markdown also works. MikeNolan tries this but encounters issues.
Don confirms that both HTML and Markdown work for him, sharing screenshots as examples. MikeNolan realizes that the issue might be specific to the sign-up or login page.
Don provides a solution using CSS, adding white-space: pre-line; to the theme component, which successfully achieves the desired line breaks. pfaffman and Lilly both praise the solution.
Most customized text will not allow html. If you want line breaks you’ll need to do that with CSS, I think.
i don’t think this is possible in text replacement tbh. i suspect one could write a plugin or component to do it.
Would an inline style tag work?
Hello,
As I see this section is html-safe so you can use <br> to line break.
Markdown also work here.
login_required.welcome_message
Or you can use a Customization > Theme component to change the Login required page content.
Like:
I tried <br> and it showed up literally, as if it was in a <pre> block.
I’m trying to change the text in the sign-up or login page, maybe those are handled differently?
Log in to your account <br>second line **THIRD LINE**
Except Jay had no idea how to do it! Nice work.
nicely done. i forgot about the white-space property.
