Hi Tones,
Really appreciate your help and patience, and sorry for bothering you with
the seemingly endless petty issues! I tried the list widget code you
suggested, but it only shows "Cedric Richmond" as a clickable link, while
the list-links macros shows "Cedric Richmond" as a clickable link and
allows formatting (for instance, if I put "//Cedric Richmond//,,Afro,," in
the caption field, the link will be reformatted as I desire, see pic
attached). Is there anyway that the list widget can do the similar thing,
i.e. outputting the link in a designated format? This could achieve what I
have in the attached pic and also get rid of the bullet point. Thanks again
for your time and generous help to my nitpicking questions!
Best
Harry
