editing text

[darrinhill]

If you go to my site... www.dartwoodworks.com, and go to the gallery page, there is a wood piece i did that i was fiddling around with soem text content..

but i cant get it to do what i want.. I want the text centered, and i want spacing between some of the sentences... so i want to do something like this..                                 

                                                                     Egyptian Revival     <-- Bigger font

                                                                   Height - 8 inches

                                                                  Width - 7.25 inches

                                               Inspired by Egyptian canoptic jars, each

                                      heiroglyphic was hand carved and inlaid with resin.

                                    The text is copied from the Egyptian Book Of The Dead.

                 The Vessel is made from Texas mesquite with a Manzanita burl segmented rim.

                                                                Inquiries welcome.

But instead i get this..

Egyptian Revival Height - 8 inches Width - 7.25 inches Inspired by Egyptian canoptic jars, each heiroglyphic was hand carved and inlaid with resin. The text is copied from the Egyptian Book Of The Dead. The Vessel is made from Texas mesquite with a Manzanita burl segmented rim. Inquiries welcome.

so are there command codes i can put IN the text.. I know i can do all thsi in photoshop and do a link, but its easier to do it in the caption of the image....

Oh, by the way, your woodworking is really amazing.

Thanks for posting, @darrinhill. Line breaks and other formatting like that isn't preserved with captions since they are meant to be concise. I have seen people use a little HTML to make new lines, though. Basically, you'll do this:

first line of text<br />

second line of text<br />

That <br /> is a line break in HTML. One will make the following text on a new line, two (e.g. <br /><br />), will get you an extra blank line.

ok..  problem is.. im a farmer who does woodworking on the side...  i dont code.. i send smokesignals..

so just type    <br />   at the end of each sentence that i want a break between lines?

what about a bigger font for the first line?

[Adam7]

Yea, exactly! Changing the look of the text is a lot more complicated by comparison. There are members of the community here who could probably offer some advice on how to do it, but it would be more difficult for you to maintain and would have a greater chance of having issues.

i could give u some code that u paste into the embed element which ud put under the image.. can reply u again in about   20hours from now...

i made some coding for you to add as an image caption..

i used your text for your message .

all you have to do is drag the embeded code element onto your page and hit.. 'edit custom html' and paste the coding..

It looks horrendous...

but its very easy. i can explain.

h3 is a h tag. imagine on an old fashioned newspaper... the head line would be in h1, sub head lines would be in h2. h3 is kindda middle of the road. H 1-6 is how much clout the text gives to Google. 1 being the highest.

text-align, you can have: left, right, center or justify. the other coding is self explanatory. line heights, letter spacing, font family, font size and font color

you can find your own colours: https://html-color-codes.info/old/colorpicker.html

i used this coding on 200 blog posts. on each and every paragrapgh!!

For you, i have made Egyption Revival, bigger and darker... 18px  and #000000 (black)   and the other text, smaller, 14px   and lighter, #727272

play aroud with font size and line heights as it depend on the back end code on the theme you are using as to how it comes out on your devices..

<br> makes the text on the next line.. <br> <br> will naturally give u a extra line between the text

i am having trouble to send the coding on this message.....   here is a photo of the coding:

and on the following message is a screen shot of the coding used   as seen on an Android smart phone

if u have any questions, just message me     ....  if you want me to send the coding   via email , send a private message    it just wont send on here (
