Text management and position
Trying to place text on an album page. The way it's set now is OK but could be better. But I don't know how to "play" around with the alignment or the size of the text.
I think this could be done with CSS but not too sure how. As an example, say I would like the text, both lines, to be centred and italic. Or aligned left with the breadcrumbs?
Any ideas?

Re: Text management and position
first, the max-width of the copy are is set to 925px. Change that in the page template if you want the text to be able to align with the breadcrumbs
For the text itself, you can make it italic with just Markdown: http://backlight.theturninggate.net/doc … tting_copy .
Or you could use a custom class or inline styling. Inline: <p style="font-style:italic;">your text</p>
Centering text requires inline styling or a custom class. Inline: <p style="text-align:center;">your text</p>

Re: Text management and position
Thanks, Rod. I downloaded MacDown a free markdown text editor and with your indications, I can now adjust, compose or correct text much more than before. Not perfect in any way, but better.

Re: Text management and position
html will still give you the most flexibility. I don't know that Markdown allows for centering text, for instance.

Re: Text management and position
Still being a novice, I'm not sure where to edit that html code.
By the way, I guess this is somehow related: where do I edit the breadcrumbs? Presently, I have "Galleries" but I'd like "Album photos" instead.

Re: Text management and position
The html goes in the copy areas, just like tegular text and Markdown

Not really related. 
Edit the title of the top-level gallery properties
Publisher > top-level galleries
Click on the name of the top level gallery
Click on Edit Properties
