    Hey there!

    As a complete rookie, as far as web design goes, I’m building my blog with the really helpful Google Material Design.

    Regarding readability (and aesthetic needs) I’m aiming to keep the text in my articles within the range of 50-75 characters per line. To achieve that I use Roboto in size 17 and I insert my text blocks in a 1/2 column element (since my maximum container width is 1310px, that’s the only way I found to get the results I want). It looks fine. But I have to do this job for every single blog post! And if one day I change my mind, I’ll have to do it again… and again. I’m quite sure there’s a much better way to restrict the width of my text blocks and set it as default.

    Merci ! :)

    Hi iclo!

    Please add following code to Quick CSS in Enfold theme options under General Styling tab and adjust as needed

    .single-post .avia_textblock { max-width: 400px; }

    Cheers!

    Wow was it that quick & easy? I just tried to add this code. It works but now I’d need to have the text centered. We’re almost there!

    Merci :)

    Hi!

    Please change the code to following one

    .single-post .avia_textblock { max-width: 400px; text-align: center; }

    You can use ‘justify’ instead of ‘center’ as well :)

    My bad. I meant “centered” as in the text block centered (not the text). The text block is currently on the left hand side of the page.

    I added
    .single-post .avia_textblock { max-width: 655px; margin: auto; }
    Is that correct?

    Awesome!

    Since we’re here… considering that I don’t really want to justify my text, any clue to avoid big dent, orphan or hyphenated words?

    Merci :)

    Hi!

    I don’t think there’s a definitive way to prevent that, unless you’re a control freak who counts every characters in the post, but there’s a css property to prevent word break or hyphenated words.

    .single-post .avia_textblock p {
word-break: break-word;
word-spacing: normal;
}

    To get this to work on pages I’ve had to specify it without the .single-post

    Am I likely to get bitten by this more general usage?

    Hi,

    Please enable the custom css class field: http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/turn-on-custom-css-field-for-all-alb-elements/ and edit your element to give it a custom CSS class and use the code as following if you do not want to apply the changes globally

    .your-custom-class .avia_textblock p {
word-break: break-word;
word-spacing: normal;
}

    Best regards,
    Yigit
