How to display a UserInput Element in a sentence cluase on a new line (Livesite Verbalisation)

Hi All,

I'd like to display a set of user inputs in a sentence clause. The structure element value would be something like

"Label1 {parameter.x} <br /> Label2 {parameter.y}

The above does not work of course.

I don't really want to change the semantic of the verbalisation as I want the user to be able to add sentences in any order and the order is important.

Cheers Lee C

Just to make plain. The BR tag is trying to dislay each input on a new line. That's what I'm trying to achieve.

AFAIK there's no way to introduce visual formatting information into a sentence (without unsupported hackery). If, as a general rule, you want a line break after each input then maybe you can come up with a CSS rule for that. I think that's about as good as it gets though.

CSS would be good enough for sure. How would I output the style definitions, inline or via editing a teamsite css? Something which did not mean editing a supplied css would be best. Is this possible ?

Hrm.. seems I spoke too soon. I assumed this screen would work the same as all others in CCPro with respect to having at least one "custom.css" file, but it appears that's not the case. Ugh, that's frustrating...

So yeah, I guess you'd have to copy one of the OOTB css files into your customer_src structure and then add your extra stuff into it. That's questionably supported, but at least it'll persist across patches/upgrades.

Just a quick up date on this. Even hacking an ootb css does not provide a work around. The mark up generated by these action forms does not provide any obvious structure to hang targeted css. It looks like you can't really achieve custom layouts, even very simple ones.
