[Resolved] List block doesn’t wrap text within GB

[Michael]

Hi again. In GB the list looks perfect, but when previewed the list block shown in the middle of my About page doesn’t wrap the text. What’s wrong? Thanks.

Hi there,

I’m not seeing a list block on the About page.

Can you confirm?

[Michael]

Hi Leo. It is the grey background box midway into the page holding quotes, that starts with the text ““What’s great about Feerer’s book…”
Thanks.

Oh, sorry… I mean the “Past Projects” page… menu = “The Past”

[Leo]

You are using a pre formatted block there:

I don’t think that’s intended?

[Michael]

So what kind of block should I use to create a similar look but with wrapped text?

[Leo]

You could just use a container block and apply a background color?

This CSS would work for your current set up but it’s a bit hacky:

.entry-content pre.wp-block-preformatted {
    white-space: pre-wrap;
    white-space: -moz-pre-wrap;
    white-space: -pre-wrap;
    white-space: -o-pre-wrap;
    word-wrap: break-word;
}

[Michael]

Thanks. That’s what I originally tried, but I wasn’t doing something correct. I’ll try again.

[Leo]

No problem 🙂
