* On a page I want to have the text:
“Op zaterdagavond houdt Jaap van der Weg
een lezing” in which the words “Jaap van der Weg” are in italic and have a different
color to indicate a link to a popup window. So I included the following text
in mij page content: “Op zaterdagavond houdt [popup_trigger
id=jvdweg]Jaap van der Weg[/popup_trigger] een lezing”. Saving
this page delivered the result as expected. But when I turn to view mode in the
editor the contents become: “Op zaterdagavond houdt
* < class=”popmake-jvdweg “>Jaap van der Weg
een lezing” which is not what was
intended. Switching back to text mode in the editor results in: “Op zaterdagavond
houdt
* [popup_trigger id=jvdweg]Jaap van der Weg[/popup_trigger]
* een lezing”
So the formatting is lost.

* [@prosim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prosim/) There are several ways
to add in custom stylings via CSS to your popup. Adding in inline-styles via
the content editor is not one of them (as you discovered to your displeasure).
[Please consult this article in our plugin documentation to address your issue.](http://docs.wppopupmaker.com/article/287-getting-started-with-custom-css)
I believe you will find one of the recommended solutions will address your needs.

* [@yogaman5020](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yogaman5020/) – In this case
he is talking about having an issue with the line breaks caused by the visual
shortcode previews in the editor.
* [@prosim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prosim/) I think this is the doc
you are after: [Why Is My Shortcode Being Created on a New Line?](http://docs.wppopupmaker.com/article/185-why-is-my-shortcode-being-created-on-a-new-line).

* **[@yogaman5020](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yogaman5020/)** – The inline
formatting has to do with the appearance of the link to the popup, not with the
formatting of the popup itself. So I think
* **[@danieliser](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danieliser/)** is right:
My problem related the inserted line break. I am happy with solution option #
1. Thanks!
