Captions with paragraph breaks

My multi-paragraph image captions are flowing into a single paragraph.

I’m using

<txp:image_info type="caption" wraptag="p" class="cap" />

Obviously, I’m like to retain the breaks I have in my caption box. Ta!

Re: Captions with paragraph breaks

Try:

<txp:image_info type="caption" wraptag="div" class="cap" escape="textile" />

As long as you have a blank line between paragraphs in your caption, passing it through Textile will convert each to <p> tags. That has the advantage that you can also use any other Textile formatting in your captions.

That lost my p class, so I wrapped it in a div (which kept the class) and tweaked my css to blanket the p in style:

<txp:image_info type="caption" wraptag="div" class="cap" escape="textile" />

Thank you Bloke!

I see you spotted that and fixed it too :)

Yeah, sorry. I should have tested it before posting!
