7.1: line break for gallery grid captions

Dear All,

Is there any way, to apply line breaks in captions such as gallery grid captions? This has been talked about in the past, but I couldn't find solutions for 7.1. In the example website, I would like to apply line breaks wherever I currently have commas.

I would even go so far as to labeling them all by hand through code, as suggested by this code, that I found here in the forum:

/* image 1 */ 
.sqs-gallery-block-grid .slide:nth-child(1) .image-slide-title:after { 
content: "Dinosaur line 2"; display: block; font-size: 13px; font-family: monospace; margin-top: -5px; 
} 
/* Image 2 */ 
.sqs-gallery-block-grid .slide:nth-child(2) .image-slide-title:after { 
content: "Banana 02"; display: block; font-size: 13px; font-family: monospace; margin-top: -5px; 
}

However, this seems to have been written for 7.0. I cannot get it to work in 7.1.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Best, Tonmeister

Try use this in caption

Quote

line 1 <br/> line 2

omg, I am such a fool.

Somehow read that html wasn't enabled.

Thank you!!!

that did it.

Is there any way to format Line 2 separately from Line 1? Make Line 1 a larger font size for example than Line 2? I've tried using <h2> on Line 2 with no success after using the line break <br/>

Hello @tuanphan Sorry for the stupid question, but how do I use the '<br/>' within the following css snippet to create two lines in a tittle of a Gallery Section of a SS 7.1 site?:
 

/* image 1 */ 
.sqs-gallery-block-grid .slide:nth-child(1) .image-slide-title:after { 
content: "Dinosaur line 2"; display: block; font-size: 13px; font-family: monospace; margin-top: -5px; 
} 
/* Image 2 */ 
.sqs-gallery-block-grid .slide:nth-child(2) .image-slide-title:after { 
content: "Banana 02"; display: block; font-size: 13px; font-family: monospace; margin-top: -5px; 
}

Many thanks for your time,

use this

/* image 1 */ 
.sqs-gallery-block-grid .slide:nth-child(1) .image-slide-title:after { 
content: "Dinosaur \A line 2"; display: block; font-size: 13px; font-family: monospace; margin-top: -5px; 
} 
/* Image 2 */ 
.sqs-gallery-block-grid .slide:nth-child(2) .image-slide-title:after { 
content: "Banana \A 02"; display: block; font-size: 13px; font-family: monospace; margin-top: -5px; 
}

\A = <br/>

Many thanks @tuanphan, you are a star!!!

Hi! I'm trying to do the same thing as OP - I put this in the caption but it's not working for me. Is there something else I should be doing to make it work? I saw that OP wrote something about enabling HTML... didn't really understand that.

Thank you!

Can you share link to page where you have problem? We can check easier

Is there a code to make line breaks in gallery grid titles?  Using the "<br/>" code in the title text doesn't seem to work.  Here's how I'm doing it (Screenshots).

Gallery Title doesn't allow HTML tag. If you share link to your site, we can give a script code to make <br> tag work.

You can also add this code to Settings > Advanced > Code Injection > Footer first, if it doesn't work, share link then.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
  $(".image-slide-title").each(function(){
    $(this).html($(this).text());
  });
});
</script>

Thanks so much! The code worked. One more question: is there a way to control the line height, letter spacing, etc. like with other text on the site? Doesn't seem to have an obvious control panel in the Font controls.

You can use some code like this (Add to Page where you use Gallery)

<style>
  /* this is code to style 2 lines */
  .image-slide-title {
  	font-size: 30px;
    color: red;
    line-height: 30px;
  }
  /* this is code to style first line */
  .image-slide-title:first-line {
  	font-size: 20px;
    margin-bottom: 20px;
  }
</style>

In CSS code, there is no attribute to target line 2, 3...but only attribute to target first-line, so I use the above method.

Might be a little old topic, but would really like to know if there is a way to adjust the 2 lines seperately after writing this in a gallery caption:

Project 1<br/>music

Would like to be able to control lineheight, font size and make the typography centrered.

Hope someone can help me out with this. :-)
