There you go. You will have to experiment to determine which field needs the space after set but I assume it would be the last field.
A class in Freeway is defined in the styles editor by adding a name in the name field but leaving the tag field blank. As an example, open the editor and click on the + button to start a new style. In the name field type hvmusic_date then add some style settings.
No luck so far. I went into edit styles, created a new class called hvmusic_date (also tried hvmusic_artist). when I type either of those in the underscore disappears to I end up with hvmusicdate as the class name or .hvmusicdate in the left hand list. I tried adding space after and space before settings but still no change.
Also tried going into extended to adding a name of hvmusic_date and a value of ‘margin-top: 10px’ but that didn’t help.
If the extended box is the trick, not entirely sure how to use it or how to set up before or after values.
Also do I apply the new style to the music html box? the markup icon?
Yep, I forgot that little issue with the name field. The way to get around that is to type .hvmusic_date in the tag field instead of the name field. Include the dot at the begining and remove anything in the name field.
I’m sorry I do not have time at the moment to be more verbose about steps.
Ok that may have gotten me a bit further although still no paragraph spacing. I set up a class for .hvmusic_date and .hvmusic_artist and can change character attributes for each (independent of the other).
But nothing I do with paragraph styles seems to work. Tried space before/after, list, etc. No effect.
If I was to do what the person from hvmusic suggested – add “.hvmusic_date { margin-top: 10px; }” where or how might I try that.
Well, according to CSSEdit here, it does put line breaks ( ) inbetween each one so the whole thing is like a giant paragraph with soft returns through-out. If you apply any kind of margin to only the date or only the artist it won’t work because it won’t push anything around until both are set.
Could you do me a favor and turn on External Stylesheets in your Document Setup so I can tell you what the CSS might be to adjust the spacing. Without that on I can’t use CSSEdit to see how to fix it.
Just wanted to close this out. Dan emailed a solution that made things work:
“Here’s a solution. Create a new style in the TAG field called .hvmusic_date and then one called .hvmusic_artist. Then for the .hvmusic_date style click on ‘Extended’ and then click ‘New’ and then enter the name of “display” and give it a value of “inline-block”. Then for the .hvmusic_artist field do the same by giving it the “inline-block” treatment and then add ‘margin-bottom’ for Name and give it a Value of like ‘5px’…What’s going to happen is that if the artist can fit on the same line as the date then it will, but if it’s larger than the date space it’ll automatically move it down to the next line.”
