ArcGIS StoryMaps - Media Action text formatting issue

[Kyle_Kaskie]

Is there away around this formatting issue when assigning a media action to a group of words in a paragraph? The formatting of the text is inconsistent for assigned media action text. For large grouped words, it is wanting to center align and/or put large spacing after the assigned words.  

The text is within a small panel of a sidecar. Increasing the panel to a large size doesn't necessary fix the issue and also is not very appealing.

@Kyle_Kaskie - Without the story link, I'm not exactly sure what formatting is applied here. But I would recommend that you remove the list formatting to see if that helps get closer to what you'd like to do. Map action links already have an icon that looks like a bullet, so having them inside a bulleted list can produce awkward results.

A few months ago, an enhancement was added that enabled you to increase the font size as part of your theme. This can help you have larger text in your sidecar, and the rest of your story, if desired. For more information, see What's new in ArcGIS StoryMaps (January 2025).

@OwenGeo  Thanks for the reply.

Removing the list formatting still causes this miss formatting issues as shown below. Everything is set within a paragraph and left align.

Published version: 

Everything is aligned appropriately within the development page but once you publish or preview, links which wrap, get center aligned while the others remain left aligned.
