HTML in link list

Apologies if this is a stupid question but i’ve trawling google and the forum and the docs, and cant see an answer to this. Im trying to use HTML to format the description field in the link list, however it doesn’t seem to work. All I want to do is put <BR> tags in to split some lines.

Am I missing something?

Thanks.

Re: HTML in link list

Can you post your page markup and your link form?

Sure…

<txp:linklist category="useful-contacts" wraptag="ul" break="li" class="usefullinks">
<strong><txp:link_name /></strong>
<txp:link_description />
<txp:link />
</txp:linklist>

Re: HTML in link list

Hi

then when you add a code like this:

<txp:linklist category="useful-contacts" wraptag="ul" break="li" class="usefullinks">
<strong><txp:link_name /></strong><br />
<txp:link_description /><br />
<txp:link /><br />
</txp:linklist>

The br are not rendered?

No, misunderstanding i think, its the text that gets entered in Textpatterns admins side, in discription box that ignores HTML, it prints it out as text.

Re: HTML in link list

Ah you have to explain better next time ;)

looking at txp documentation

you can see that <txp:link_description /> has an escape attribute thta is default to html then change your code like that should work

<txp:linklist category="useful-contacts" wraptag="ul" break="li" class="usefullinks">
<strong><txp:link_name /></strong>
<txp:link_description escape=""/>
<txp:link />
</txp:linklist>
