Is it possible to cycle short paragraphs with CSS3 styled text? Lets say on a specific area on a page. Much like the way NewsCycle works with images and single line text. Creating a HTML box on the right or left side, fixed window, and have short paragraphs cycle information. I’ve tried and it only works if I convert the HTML text on the pasteboard has a graphic. When I do that the clarity of the text suffers a bit.
NewsCycle is incredibly forgiving about the kind of content it can cycle. Whatever the first child element is in your news source HTML box, it will look for all the peers of that element and use them. So you can use an inline DIV as your “story” element, and cycle through a bunch of different multi-paragraph stories if you want.
Draw an HTML box somewhere on the page or pasteboard, and double-click into it to get a text cursor. From the main menu, choose Insert / HTML Item. Double-click into that, and type or paste your multi-paragraph news item. Resize the inner box to be 100% width and auto height. Click once on that inline box so its handles show, copy it to the clipboard, then hit the right arrow until you see a flashing text cursor to its right or below. Paste multiple times, update each duplicate with one of the remaining news stories.

paragraph

/div

paragraph

/div

That’s what the code will look like. Only the first nested DIV will appear in your news box, followed by the next, and so on.
