Colored Text inside of a paragraph

Monday 16 February 2004 6:13:09 am

Hi all

I have been trying to change the color of a few words or a sentence located inside a paragraph of an article - either intro or body - they are eZXML text datatype. I have tried using the custom tag - <custom name="myblue"> and several other options. So far they have not worked for me. They end up converting the ONE paragraph into three paragraphs by adding <p> </p> tags. I get one paragraph that include the text before the custom tag. A new paragraph for the text using the custom tag and a pragraph with the text after the custom tag.

I am using eZ ver 3.3-3

This is the text from the myblue.tpl:
<span class="myblue">{$content}</span>

This is the text as I entered it into the Intro field:
This week, some members of the crew are reporting live from Hall A, attending "Top fair 2003". Top fair 2003 <custom name="myblue>this is my blue colored text</custom>is an international trade fair for Information Technology and Telecommunications. The trade fair is held for the 5th time.

This is the HTML that gets displayed on the actual web site:
<div class="intro"><p>
This week, some members of the crew are reporting live from Hall A, attending &quot;Top fair 2003&quot;. Top fair 2003
</p>
<span class="myblue"><p>

this is my blue colored text<br />
</p>
</span><p>
is an international trade fair for Information Technology and Telecommunications. The trade fair is held for the 5th time.
</p>
</div>

As you can see ez is taking my single paragraph and breaking it into three paragraphs:
<p>1st paragraph</p>
<span class="myblue"><p>blue text</p></span>
<p>3rd paragraph</p>

Any ideas how I can keep it all in one paragraph? Maybe you have an idea on how to selectivly eliminate the <p> tags??

Thank you Alex it worked!!

I tried doing a search for "inline". I could not find anything that wouild have helped me with this. I know that they are working on documenting a lot of these things and I for one will be very thankful when they have documented a lot of these things. In fact it makes me wonder if theire have been other issue that I had given up on that could still work out.

Thanks again.
