 * My captions are compressed and jumbled together on smaller screens and mobile
   devices. The image sizing is fine on both mobile and desktop views and captions
   look fine when viewed on desktop.
 * What code is needed and where would it be placed to increase the space designated
   for captions?
 * It would be great if the space expands only when needed for longer captions or
   only when needed for smaller screens.
 * Thanks for any help,
    Jay

 * It’s all in the stylesheets. If you’re proficient with CSS you should be able
   to adopt and existing style to to work. I don’t think I can get anything into
   the next version but I might be able to add a javascript help that will do it
   automatically in the version following.
 * Also, in the next version there will be an option to disable on mobile devices
   which won’t solve you caption problem but might make the experience a bit better.

 * Hi Dan – Thanks for the info. I probably won’t be able to figure that out with
   CSS, so a future update or feature add would be really appreciated. In the meantime
   maybe add a fix in the FAQ.
 * Cool to hear back from you. Thanks again.

 * It looks like I’m planning on adding the JS helper scripts to handle longer text.
   Numerous folks are asking about it. Might not make it into the very next version
   but definitely the version right after.
