Hello,
I am formatting pop-ups to display interpretive information for walking tours.
For each POI, the general description of the site comes from the field "Introduction." In some cases this is a single paragraph, but in other cases it is multiple paragraphs.
What is the best way to ensure that carriage returns (i.e. new lines) are formatted correctly and displayed in the pop-up? There does not seem to be any way to input the return into the text field manually through the Web Map editor - hitting Enter, Shift+Enter, or Alt+Enter just jumps to the next field. Is there some trick for this?
I have noticed that when the features are updated from an Excel sheet and the carriage return is included in the formatted Excel sheet it usually displays correctly, but it seems like if the field is then edited in AGOL this formatting can be lost. I am setting up a workflow for end-users without extensive GIS background, so I would like to minimize the complexity required - frequently saving, editing, and uploading spreadsheets to update features is not ideal.
My next idea is to include each paragraph as its own field, and use an Arcade script to display the paragraphs and empty lines as appropriate - but this seems absurdly overcomplicated to just display text with paragraph formatting.
Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks in advance for any information!
