Related item notes displaying in columns (need to fix) #230

Closed kmcmullen closed 1 month ago

For some reason, notes for related items are now displaying in columns in the top metadata (see here: https://chesnuttarchive.org/item/ccda.corr00042). This wasn't the case before, so something must have changed.

Another example here: https://cdrhdev1.unl.edu/chesnutt/item/ccda.corr00047 (the text is all squished into a small column)

Thanks @kmcmullen! I posted in Teams, but I'm adding here for posterity (i.e. me, when I forget where we talked about it)

The CSS style that's making Related items split into 3 columns is the same CSS style that splits Nature of source text into 3 columns. Totally fixable. Had a couple questions for you, though, so I know which changes to make:

Should it have a bullet at all? Or should it just be inline, like "Related items: This is a carbon copy..." ?
Are there any other metadata fields that are in the box at the top of the page that do need to be split into 3 columns?

From Kevin in Teams:

It would be nice if it wasn't bulleted
No other metadata fields in that top box that should be split
Also, if we could increase the space between Sources and Related items, that would be great!

I think the answer for now is just to take it out of the HTML list; we'll list the array inline, and if there are multiple items in the array in the future, we can adjust the inline look.
