insert line/space in custom fields option?
« on: February 19, 2002, 08:20:40 am »

I did post this as a wish - but just thought that maybe it is possible to do the following already:

If I put a lot of text in a custom field, say all participating musicians, all that text just stands there in track
info with no space or no empty lines between them. That way the text becomes very long and "confusing".

So, is it possible by typing some kind of command to insert an empty line when typing in a custom field?

Are you looking to have this line break in MJ's Media Library? If so, I don't think so.

But if you're looking to have it display that way only in a Track Info template, you can insert a <Next Page> anywhere that you want a line break to occur. You may have to play with it a bit to make sure it displays right, but that should at least get you started.

Yes you understand me right, I am looking for a way to insert a line viewable in track info, not in content view in the library.

The characters, where do I insert them? In the custom field? (sorry for asking what probably seems like a stupid question, but I am a _dummy_ when I comes to any kind of programming stuff)

I was a little off on that... <Next Page> will enter a line break, but it will also put a blank line in as well.
will just cause a line break. Ok, let's say you have the following in a Custom field : "Vocals : David Lee Roth, Lead Guitar : Eddie Van Halen, Bass Guitar : Michael Anthony, Drums : Alex Van Halen" and you want to display it like :

Vocals : David Lee Roth
Lead Guitar : Eddie Van Halen
Bass Guitar : Michael Anthony
Drums : Alex Van Halen

You'd insert
tags like this : "Vocals : David Lee Roth
Lead Guitar : Eddie Van Halen
Bass Guitar : Michael Anthony
Drums : Alex Van Halen"

Damn, Interact smileys. Next Page

In between the <> should be a P in both of those posts where there is currently a surprised-looking smiley... Next Page

You're welcome. Next Page

There's all kinds of cool stuff you can do by inserting HTML codes into your fields. I've been using to create multiple columns for lyrics for instance.
