In website operation, it is crucial to ensure that the content can present a good reading experience on various devices and browsers, especially for long text content, as the line-breaking effect directly affects the user's reading comfort.When the website contains a large amount of content from various sources, batch checking and optimizing the line break effect of long text becomes a task that requires a meticulous strategy.AnQiCMS (AnQiCMS) provides a rich set of tools and flexible configuration, helping us effectively manage and optimize this process.

Understanding the root cause of the line break effect of long text

To check the line break effect in batches, we first need to understand several core factors that affect its display.The final display effect of the long text, usually the result of the joint action of the content format, security CMS backend processing mechanism, and front-end template style.

1. Content input format:Whether through a rich text editor, Markdown editor, or directly pasted plain text, the original content's newline characters (\n）or HTML tags (such as<p>/<br/>All this laid the foundation.The CMS supports Markdown editor, and the line break rules of Markdown content will be converted to corresponding HTML tags when rendered as HTML.

2. The backend processing of Safe CMS:During the process of saving content and rendering to the front-end template, Safe CMS will perform some processing.For example, if we want to automatically convert newline characters in plain text to HTML line break tags, we need to rely on specific template filters.

3. Front-end templates and CSS styles:The final decision on how the long text is presented on the page is made by the website's front-end template structure (HTML) and stylesheet (CSS). For example,white-space/word-break/overflow-wrapThis CSS property will directly control the text wrapping behavior.

Use AnQiCMS function to implement batch checking and optimization.

The powerful functions of Anqi CMS provide us with multi-dimensional methods to solve the uniformity problem of long text line breaks.

1. Uniform content input specifications

If the content of the website comes from multiple editors or through batch import/collection (AnQi CMS supports content collection and batch import), the content format may be very different. The most fundamental optimization method is to unify the content input standards:

  • Rich Text Editor:Encourage editing to directly use the 'Paragraph' and 'Line Break' functions in the rich text editor to ensure the generation of standardized content.<p>and<br/>Label.
  • Markdown Editor:If the Markdown editor is enabled, editors should be familiar with the Markdown line break rules (such as adding two spaces at the end of a single line to achieve line breaks, or leaving a blank line to indicate a new paragraph), AnQiCMS'srenderfilters (such as{{archiveContent|render|safe}}）Will convert Markdown content to HTML, at this time the line break effect is controlled by Markdown rules and the final CSS.

2. Make good use of template filters to handle text

The template system of Anqi CMS provides powerful filters that can dynamically adjust the line break effect of text during content rendering, which is particularly effective for handling plain text or imported content with inconsistent formatting.

  • linebreaksandlinebreaksbr:These two filters are powerful tools for handling line breaks in plain text.

    • linebreaksIt will convert line breaks in plain text into \n）into HTML paragraph tags（.<p>and</p>), and additional line breaks within paragraphs into <br/>This is very suitable for automatically splitting large blocks of text into structured paragraphs.
    • linebreaksbrIf you only want to simply replace newline characters with<br/>tags without adding paragraph tags,linebreaksbrThis is very applicable. It is very useful for places that need to maintain a compact text layout but also require line breaks.
    • Application scenario: When importing a large amount of plain text content through the batch import feature, we can format these contents in the template,Contentto thelinebreaksorlinebreaksbrusing filters to achieve automatic formatting, for example:{{item.Content|linebreaks|safe}}.

  • wordwrap:This filter can force long text to wrap at the specified character count, even if there are no spaces in the text.This is very helpful for displaying long words without natural separators (such as in the Chinese context, or certain technical terms), and can effectively prevent text overflow in containers.

    • Application scenario: In responsive design, if a text block might overflow on a small screen due to insufficient length of words, you can use{{item.Title|wordwrap:20}}Make sure the text breaks automatically after 20 characters to improve readability.

  • safeFilter:No matter which filter is used to process text, if the original content or the result after filtering contains HTML tags, in order to ensure that these tags can be correctly parsed by the browser instead of being escaped and displayed as plain text, it is imperative to add them when outputting the content.|safefilter. For example:{{articleContent|linebreaks|safe}}.

3. Uniform the CSS style rules for the frontend

The final visual effect cannot be separated from CSS control. In order to ensure that the line break effect meets expectations in bulk, we need to make a unified plan at the CSS level:

  • Universal text container style:Define a common CSS rule for all containers displaying long text (such as the main content area).

    • word-break: break-word;oroverflow-wrap: break-word;These properties allow forced line breaks within words, which can effectively prevent text overflow in containers for languages without spaces, such as Chinese, Japanese, or for long English words.
    • white-space: pre-wrap;If you need to accurately preserve all spaces and newline characters (including consecutive spaces) in the content, this will be very useful, but you should be aware of the possible layout impact.
    • line-heightandtext-alignThese basic layout properties do not directly control line breaks, but can optimize the visual beauty after line breaks.

  • Responsive design:Combined with media queries (@media）为不同屏幕尺寸定义不同的文本容器宽度、字体大小等，确保在小屏幕设备上长文本也能优雅地折行。

4. Using the multi-site and multi-template features for testing

AnQi CMS supports multi-site management and multi-template switching. We can make use of this feature for batch verification:

  • Establish a test site/template:Create a test site or enable a test template on an existing site, specifically for verifying the display effects of long text under different configurations.
  • Sampling page check:Although it is not possible to manually inspect all pages visually, different types of long text pages can be selected based on content models, classifications, etc., for sampling tests to ensure the effectiveness of general configurations.Especially those contents imported or collected in batches, should be paid more attention to.
  • Browser Developer Tools:Using the developer tools of modern browsers, you can simulate different devices and screen sizes, quickly check and adjust CSS rules, and observe the text wrapping effect.

Summary

Bulk check and optimize the line break effect of long text in AnQiCMS, it is not an overnight success, but a systematic work.It requires us to standardize from the source of content input, process the intelligent rendering of content through the template filters provided by the CMS, and combine it with fine control of frontend CSS, ultimately verifying through multi-template and multi-device testing.By utilizing these strategies comprehensively, we can ensure that the website content presents a professional, unified, and user-friendly reading experience even in the face of massive amounts of content.

Common Questions (FAQ)

1. Why does my article content display normally in the backend editor, but the front-end page shows text overflow or line break disorder?This is usually due to the front-end CSS styles not handling the wrapping of long text or container width correctly. Please check if the CSS file of your template has added styles for the article content container (such asarticle/.content）toword-break: break-word;oroverflow-wrap: break-word;auto properties. Moreover, if the content is imported via Markdown or plain text, also check whether the template useslinebreaksorrenderThis filter converts it into the appropriate HTML structure.
