In Matt’s blog update last week, he introduced collapsable sections within a text block in Kookaburra. In so doing, he fixed a problem I have had for so long that I had learned to ignore it - I tend to be far too wordy. The last several days have seen a flurry of activity updating my Kookaburra and Pangolin pages to have as seamless as possible look and feel. I even finally fixed my menu problems.
To the point, the collapsable sections are a bit of a challenge for a guy with limited html experience as they do not yet support markdown language. That said, I am very happy with my implementation of a collapsable section on one of my website pages. I still struggle a bit with Kookaburra not wrapping text around imbedded images. Yet? But, otherwise my first effort looks great.
Hey, glad to hear you’re finding good use for the collapsable sections, and working towards a better website! My greatest fear whenever I build something is that no one will actually use it, so you just made my day.
As for text not wrapping around embedded images, the problem there is that – if you’re using the essay features to embed them – the image are wrapped in a DIV. You might get the effect you’re after by using CSS float on them, though. Try adding style="float: left;" to the the DIV and let me know if that’s the effect you’re after.
Added style section as you suggested and added some margin settings to clear space around the images. The section looks like: style=“border: 2px black solid; float: left; padding: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 8px;” For float: right images the left and right margin settings are left 8px and right 0px.
Thanks. Now that I know what you’re wanting, I’m adding new Alignment and Width options to the essay presentation composer for Single and Static presentation types, and I’ve taken the opportunity to write a tutorial how to extend essay presentation functionality, which I’ll publish alongside our next update.
