Modifing Captions in Portrait Style

Oakley

Hi there dgrinners,

I'm writing captions that have multiple lines of text.

In journal mode, the paragraph breaks work just fine (i.e. the paragraphs show up as separate lines)....

I would like to display the gallery using the Portrait Collage Style, but the captions are clumped together without any paragraph breaks - making it difficult to read.

Is there a way to change this using CSS or any other ninja customization trick?

Thanks!

Ryan

Have you tried my code on my customization site? http://www.aaronmphotography.com/Customizations/Gallery/Caption-Line-Breaks

I am a little confused by your request though: in Portrait Collage style, the captions are displayed when the mouse hovers over the image. If the caption is long (and has line breaks), then a "..." is added. Are you talking about having the captions display line breaks when viewed in the LIGHTBOX (i.e. when you click on the photo and it opens large)? If so, the code from my link will work.

Thanks for your response...and for sharing the link to your code.

But when I have Portrait Collage activated on my gallery, I do see the captions under each photo - but the paragraph breaks done show up. Lightbox as well as Journal style show the paragraph breaks just fine - but I'd prefer to use the Portrait Collage.

Having this same exact issue. Anyone found a solution to this? Trying to do a staff page, and need to put
Name
Position

Mini bio

But it puts
Name

Position Mini Bio

The generated source looks like this ( with any manual <p> or <br> removed)
<meta itemprop="caption" content="Chief Coordinating Officer/Director
