Why wrap text too early before the paragraph width is reached?

I was highlighting the elements on one of my pages (you will see the blue outline) and noticed that my paragraphs is enveloping way too quickly before it reaches the full width of the paragraph. In the image below, I even copied a screenshot in Photoshop and saw that I could move one of the words ("these") upwards with plent of spare part. What is going on?

And here is a link to the page, then you can check the HTML/CSS integration...

(And Yes, I know that CSS validation choke on my gradients.)

The browser is obedient padding-right: 10% and max-width: 38em rules on the p tag in the main style sheet

p {make: 1em/1.4 normal;}
letter-spacing: .03em;
margin: 0 0 1em 0;
Max-width: 38em;
{padding-right: 10%;
}

Tip: use F12 (Developer Tools) in IE or Firefox extension Firebug and you can quickly isolate the CSS rules that cause these issues by simply clicking on the defective elements in page with your mouse.

  • [JS IDCS5] Space before the paragraph if the paragraph style is...

    Hello

Is it possible to generate scripts when the following two some paragraph styles, that one of these styles is moving towards a style without spacing?

    Best regards, Sjoerd

    This should help you get started - but Sjoerd, there is no way you can "attach" this kind of script to a paragraph style. This is why you must run the script * every * time you changed a style somewhere...

  • End media fired too early in the OS 5

    Hello friends,

    I got a player of AMR. who may request at any time and play from there. I have a PrivateInputStream class that is inherited from the InputStream class that is used to get in the AMR file. When I try to play the file AMR em event is triggered as soon as the drive starts. The file is consolidated in 12 seconds.

    I don't have a problem when I get the inputstream directly and play. I have the problem when I get the inputstream to PrivateInputStream (to ask);

    Please help guys

    In this case, all I can say is that you try a DataSource + SourceStream implementation. Most of the work you did in your PrivateInputStream easily translates into SourceStream.read () method. See if this approach works on OS pre - 5.0 and 5.0 +.

    Hello

    I'm new in indesign scripting.

    I want to create the reference, which is the link to the paragraphs (or text anchor) another indesign file (new.indd).

    My first problem is how to get all the paragraphs or anchor text of the file new.indd

    I have a TextFrame whose content is Adobe Indesign.

    I want to apply an Adobe Indesign link reference to the paragraphs with the Destination Documents: new.indd.

    How it's done by script?

    I have try to use this:

    indesign #target

    myDocument var = app.documents.add ();

    var myTextFrame = myDocument.pages.item (0).textFrames.add ();

    myTextFrame.geometricBounds is ['10', 15 ' p', '30', '35p'];.

    myTextFrame.contents = "Adobe Indesign";

    var text = myTextFrame.texts.firstItem ();

    When I run this script it gives error "the destination is not valid. You can create Cross - reference to anchor text or destination of the paragraph.

    How to get all the Paragrapgs or text the file new.indd anchor and create cross-references using the this.

    Thank you.

    You can create cross-references to anchor points and paragraphs. If you need create an anchor text in new.indd, then use as the target of the cross reference:

    var anchor = app.documents.item ('new.indd').hyperlinkTextDestinations.item ('myAnchor');

    source var = app.activeDocument.crossReferenceSources.add (text, xRefForm);

    app.activeDocument.hyperlinks.add (source, anchor);

  • BEFORE the UPDATE of relaxation with time stamp does not work as expected

    We have a scenario where I check update operations on a table.

    I created a before update TRIGGER, so that every time he goes an update on the main table statement, one before the image of the lines is captured in the table of audit with timestamp.

    Since it is before updating, ideally the audit table timestamp (TRG_INS_TMST) should be less main table timestamp (IBMSNAP_LOGMARKER) VALUE, I mean TRIGGER should happen before the update.

    (I could understand in a way that the UPDATE statement is formulated with SYSTIMESTAMP earlier before the TRIGGER is evaluated and so UPDATE is to have a time stamp prior to TRIGGER, but this isn't what we wanted. We want PRIOR update)

    'Table' IBM_SNAPOPERATION IBM_SNAPLOGMARKER            
    ---- ----------------- -------------------------------
    T1   U                 13-OCT-15 03.07.01.775236 AM   <<---------- This is the main table, This should have the latest timestamp
    T2   I                 13-OCT-15 03.07.01.775953 AM
    

    Here is my test case.

    DELETE FROM TEST_TRIGGER_1;
    
    DELETE FROM TEST_TRIGGER_2;
    
    SELECT 'T1', ibm_snapoperation, ibm_snaplogmarker FROM TEST_TRIGGER_1
    UNION
    SELECT 'T2', ibm_snapoperation, TRG_INS_TMST FROM TEST_TRIGGER_2;
    
    INSERT INTO TEST_TRIGGER_1 (ID,ibm_snapoperation, ibm_snaplogmarker)
         VALUES (1, 'I', SYSTIMESTAMP);
    
    COMMIT;
    
    SELECT 'T1', ibm_snapoperation, ibm_snaplogmarker FROM TEST_TRIGGER_1
    UNION
    SELECT 'T2', ibm_snapoperation, TRG_INS_TMST FROM TEST_TRIGGER_2;
    
    UPDATE TEST_TRIGGER_1
       SET IBM_SNAPOPERATION = 'U', ibm_snaplogmarker = SYSTIMESTAMP;
    
    COMMIT;
    
    SELECT 'T1', ibm_snapoperation, ibm_snaplogmarker FROM TEST_TRIGGER_1
    UNION
    SELECT 'T2', ibm_snapoperation, TRG_INS_TMST FROM TEST_TRIGGER_2;
    

    Def trigger:

    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER etl_dbo.TEST_TRIGGER_1_TRG BEFORE UPDATE OF IBM_SNAPOPERATION
    ON TEST_TRIGGER_1 REFERENCING OLD AS OLD NEW AS NEW
    FOR EACH ROW
    WHEN (
    NEW.IBM_SNAPOPERATION= 'U'
          )
    DECLARE
    V_SQLCODE  VARCHAR2(3000);
    --PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;
    BEGIN
    INSERT INTO etl_dbo.TEST_TRIGGER_2
    (ID,
    IBM_SNAPOPERATION,
    IBM_SNAPLOGMARKER,
    TRG_INS_TMST
    )
    VALUES (:OLD.ID,:OLD.IBM_SNAPOPERATION,:OLD.IBM_SNAPLOGMARKER,SYSTIMESTAMP)
    ;
    --COMMIT;
    END;
    /
    

    Output is something like this

    1 row deleted.
    1 row deleted.
    no rows selected.

    But for some reason, even after the creation of the 'AFTER' trigger for update, it works as expected. Sense - the main table is not having the last timestamp given

    It's OKAY - I told you in my reply earlier. Reread my answer.

    could understand somehow that the UPDATE statement is made with earlier

    SYSTIMESTAMP until the TRIGGER is assessed and updated so is to have

    time stamp prior to the trigger, but this isn't what we wanted. We want to

    BEFORE the update)

    As I told you before that your UPDATE statement occurs BEFORE the trigger is activated.

    Despite what the other speakers have said, it makes NO DIFFERENCE if you use a BEFORE UPDATE or an AFTER UPDATE trigger. Your UPDATE statement runs ALWAYS BEFORE the trigger.

    HE has TO - it's your update processing statement that causes the trigger to fire.

    Your update statement includes SYSTIMESTAMP. If during the processing of your return to update the value of SYSTIMESTAMP "at this exact time" is captured.

    Then your trigger is activated and starts to run. ANY reference to SYSTIMESTAMP that you use in your trigger cannot be earlier than the value of until the trigger was executed. It's IMPOSSIBLE.

    The trigger can use the SAME value by referencing: NEW and the column name you store the value. Or the trigger can get its own value that your code is doing.

    But the SYSTIMESTAMP value in the trigger will NEVER earlier than the value in your query.

    And none of these values can actually be used to tell when the changes are really ENGAGED since the trigger does not work and CAN NOT, to know when, or if, a validation occurs.

    Reread my first answer - he explains all this.

  • Apply the paragraph using Enter/Return style works only on empty paragraphs

    The InDesign CS4 document, I'm working on that has paragraph styles based on other paragraph styles. For example, the following chapter for BodyFirst style is body. Hit Enter/Return after typing a BodyFirst applies in subsection empty body, no problem.

    However, I sometimes already existing text that needs to be reformatted. For example, BodyFirst may be followed by Heading1, but Heading1 must be changed in body.

    I'm used to FrameMaker, where you can go back the Heading1 paragraph so that BodyFirst and Heading1 are in the same paragraph and then press enter/return to change quickly the correct paragraph style Heading1, body style. However, InDesign repeat the last style when I press enter/return, so that in this example, I find myself with followed BodyFirst of another BodyFirst.

    Is it possible to change this so that the following paragraph style is correct by hitting enter/return by using already existing text?

    Select the paragraphs, and then right-click (ctrl-click on Mac) on the name of the paragraph style in the paragraph Styles Panel. It should give you the possibility of style "of paragraph 1 ', then the following Style.

  • Paragraph nets run too short under the text

    I noticed that when I select a net of paragraph to run under a text (instead of the entire column) it turns a little too short, if the text has been the subject of a follow-up. If there are no kerning or followed, the rule runs the width of the text very well. But soon as the text is stretched the rule isn't quite stretches all the way under the text. Is there a way to fix this? I have InDesign CS5 for Windows (version 7.0.4).

    @ Lilia,.

    Forced line break is special characters, too.

    But here's the good news. I tested your theory this morning about not apply tracking to the character and it works for all the alignment options, and he doesn't move to the last position of the character, so it is viable, in fact excellent, when it is applied by using the GREP style. So for the items (or any other paragraph of caterpillars who needs a set of rule less than the width of the text, and where the text is followed by a positive value) that you want to create a 0 followed by character style and apply it to the last character in the paragraph for help. $

    The letter spacing value should be added to the basic character format of the paragraph style:

    The character style should do anything other than assigning a value of 0 tracking:

    And that the character style should be applied as one Style GREP like this:

    No special characters and automatic comletely and the text can be changed at will, or formatting in the style can be changed and it will continue to work.

    Play well.

    By the way, welcome to the forum. If you want to learn more about GREP, and you should, as long as a teacher and an obviously talented user, I highly recommend Peter Kahrel O'Reilly Primer: http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596156015.do which is a real bargain at $9.99 and available in PDF, Mobi or ePub. GREP is actually not terribly difficult to learn and incredibly powerful (and the dialog box find/replace in the ID has the most metacharacters commonly used lists if you have trouble memorizing). There are a lot of users here who will be happy to help you learn the GREP, which Peter K, if you encounter a stumbling block and post a question.

    I'll also update my last night bug report to include your workaround solution. He could point the engineers to an easy way to fix the code, so none of this will not be necessary someday.

  • Why the paragraph number is pointed out now? It was not before.

  • How to wrap text around the anchored object (image)

    I quickly started to get account that I am not the mental giant I had previously thought!

    Having recently made the switch to InDesign, I fight to pick up some of the different methodologies, and more still, the different jargon.

    I read the section guide from Adobe on this request, and I feel none the wiser is. I'm sorry to you guys with what is probably a very trivial question for users over three years, but let's go even of evil.

    I am trying to anchor the image object in a block of text, with the image of the text wrapping. While it seems to be in my ability to insert the object and to wrap the text, I have real problems to anchor this object in the right place.

    What I'm trying to look like this: -.

    See you soon... Scotty

    If the image is placed on the page:

    Drag the symbol at the top right in a paragraph before that the first line is ignored when the text is wrapped.

    I suggest to save all the settings (wrapping text, the position of an object of anchroed, etc.) in the Styles of an object as it makes it easier to do global settings later.
