Question about spacing in text pattern tags
I want to have the title of my post be immediately followed by the “excerpt” on the same line. To do this, I tried using this code below – however it puts the title on one line and the excerpt on another.
Is there a solution for this?
My Code:
<p style=“padding:0px 0px 0px 0px; margin:0px; color:#999999;”><span style=“color:#990000;”><txp:title wraptag=”“ /></span>
<txp:excerpt wraptag=”“ /></p>

Re: Question about spacing in text pattern tags
any reason why you’re specifying padding 0px 0px 0px 0px??thats the same thing as padding:0. you could also shorten your color using #999
<txp:title /> and <txp: excerpt /> do not have wraptag attributes. they should sit right next to each other if thats how they’re placed.
whats in your actual form?

I think the excerpt will have it’s own “p” tags unless you turn Textile off for the excerpt in the left sidebar on the Write page. As Steve says, the wraptag attribute doesn’t exist for these tags.

Here’s my entire form for the full detail of an article posting:
<txp:article_image style=“width:425px;” />
<div style=“margin-top:20px;”>

<p style=“padding:0px; margin:0px; color:#999;”><span style=“color:#990000;”><txp:title /></span>

Yes – that’s it – you have to select to “leave text untouched” . . . thanks for your help!

Re: Question about spacing in text pattern tags
EDIT: People are fast ;)
It’s because the expert is Textiled and it adds there paragraps. You could use something like:
<div class="hola"><txp:excerpt /><txp:title /></div>And then in CSS:
.hola p,
.hola ul,
.hola blockquote,
.hola pre {
float: left;
display: inline;
}Another way is by using PHP.
<txp:php>
$ex = excerpt();
$ex = strip_tags($ex, '<a><strong><em>');
echo $ex.' '.title();
</txp:php>PS. Don’t use so much of inline styles, it ain’t so smart in the end.
Cheers!
