    Hello,

    I have a question about the formatting of a Long text field e.g. [apr field=”Notes”]. In my airtable this fields data is formatted with line breaks.

    How do I configure the [apr field=”Notes”] so that it would not be displayed as a long string of text, but formatted with line breaks?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • I have the same question.

    I notice if you use <br><br> in the Notes text it exports into WordPress with a line break but this is not an elegant solution.

    The simplest solution is to apply this CSS on the element containing your text:

    white-space: pre-wrap;

    Didn’t try, but using nl2br($text) with PHP might do the trick too.

    Airpress comes with Parsedown support, so in addition to nl2br and pure CSS solutions, you could try adding the following filter to your theme’s functions.php file:

    
function my_parsedown_function($output="",$method="text"){
	global $parsedown;

	if ( method_exists($parsedown, $method) || is_callable(array($parsedown, $method)) ){
		return call_user_func(array($parsedown, $method),$output);
	}

	return $output;

}
add_filter("airpress_shortcode_filter_parsedown","my_parsedown_function",10,2);

    And then use the Airpress Shortcode like this:

    [apr field="Description" format="parsedown|text"]
