Map Journal Side Panel Text Formatting

[JaymeLaber]

I am working on a Story Map using the Map Journal template. I am trying to enter text in the side panel to look like the following.

Los Angeles, CA          31.28 inches     (normal is 14.93 inches)

Ventura, CA                 30.62 inches     (normal is 14.71 inches)

Thousand Oaks, CA    32.75 inches     (normal is 15.60 inches)

Santa Barbara, CA      41.41 inches     (normal is 18.10 inches)

But when the text is saved the Story Map doesn't keep the blank spacing. It looks like this:

Los Angeles, CA 31.28 inches (normal is 14.93 inches)

Ventura, CA 30.62 inches (normal is 14.71 inches)

Thousand Oaks, CA 32.75 inches (normal is 15.60 inches)

Santa Barbara, CA 41.41 inches (normal is 18.10 inches)

Is there an easy way to preserve the blank spaces?

I looked at the source code in the edit window and see the non-breaking spaces (&nbsp) there, but they don't seem to be working when you save the edits.

Thanks for any assistance.

Hi,

Multiple   sequentially can be problematic and interpreted as only one.

The easiest would be to use a table tag

<table>
  <tbody>
  <tr>
  <td>Row 1 Col1</td>
  <td>Row 1 Col2</td>
  <td>Row 1 Col3</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td>Row 2 Col1</td>
  <td>Row 2 Col2</td>
  <td>Row 2 Col3</td>
  </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

I'll give that a try. As a temporary measure, here is how I got around it for now.

Los Angeles, CA..........31.28 inches......(normal is 14.93 inches)

Ventura, CA.................30.62 inches......(normal is 14.71 inches)

Thousand Oaks, CA....32.75 inches......(normal is 15.60 inches)

Santa Barbara, CA......41.41 inches......(normal is 18.10 inches)
