Title: Text Issue Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Text Issue * [mad_hatter1986](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mad_hatter1986/) * (@mad_hatter1986) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-issue-1/) * HI my site page with the issues is this * [http://www.thebank.org.uk/oneilmedia/?page_id=29](http://www.thebank.org.uk/oneilmedia/?page_id=29) * In my page editor i want people to just be able to write text and not worry about when to add new lines, * the centre text column wont align the text automatically. * for example: it will cut words off lik e that. * or if you have a long line it will just add a horizontal scroll bar. i just want to type and it to fill the space it should go in. * any suggestions?? * thanks Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) * [nsathees](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nsathees/) * (@nsathees) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-issue-1/#post-2333744) * Remove the white-space: pre from inline style * [peredur](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peredur/) * (@peredur) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-issue-1/#post-2333756) * Sorry, but I don’t see anything on that page that looks even vaguely like what you say. There is no editor on that page that I can see. * Also the text in your main text area runs over the widgets in the sidebar. * And finally (sorry) your HTML is all over the place. For example the page’s HTML begins: * ``` ``` * What on earth is a `` tag doing there? The `DOCTYPE` declaration must be the first thing in the file (and on the first line if you want to code for IE6). The `` tag must be directly within `` and after the `` section. * Unless you can sort out the HTML, your page is unlikely ever to render correctly– especially across browsers. * HTH * PAE * Thread Starter [mad_hatter1986](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mad_hatter1986/) * (@mad_hatter1986) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-issue-1/#post-2333976) * nsathees – thanks i will give it a try * peredur – thanks. * the body class was added due to what a plugin asked for, apart form that i don’t see any other html issues, and if there are they are wordpress created anyway, as thats the only coding i have really done here. * I haven’t seen the text going over the widgets in IE or FF or Safari, so i don’t know about this issues, but thats is part of what i am trying to sort / find out. * I want to know how to keep the text in a sized box and it to automatically go to new lines at the right point, and also not to cut off words part way though and add half a work on a new line. * one the big issues about the text editor is noticeable on the home page * [http://www.thebank.org.uk/oneilmedia](http://www.thebank.org.uk/oneilmedia) * This is a freebee website i am trying to make and also my first one so sorry if not clear in things. * [peredur](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peredur/) * (@peredur) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-issue-1/#post-2334000) * HTML issues: * Front page: * [http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebank.org.uk%2Foneilmedia%2F](http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebank.org.uk%2Foneilmedia%2F) * The page you posted about: * [http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebank.org.uk%2Foneilmedia%2F%3Fpage_id%3D29](http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebank.org.uk%2Foneilmedia%2F%3Fpage_id%3D29) * It might be your theme and or a plugin that’s causing the validation errors, but if so you might want to ask yourself about the wisdom of using that theme/ plugin. Up to you entirely, though, of course. * As for the text overfilling its box, it’s because it’s in a `

` element. 
   A `` element outputs text exactly as it is input. So if the input doesn’t
   have a line break, the output won’t. Try removing the `` tags and using `
   ` tags instead.
 * Make your changes in a [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   if at all possible.
 * Cheers
