Can I change the height of a section, so it wraps the text?

Tamsin Stirling March 17, 2019
Hello! I don't know the first thing about coding but we use Confluence for our internal intranet. I'm currently in the process of updating this and trying to get my head around the programme! When you insert a section in page layout and choose the 3 column option, is there anyway to wrap the text so the column is only as long as the content in it? I'm finding if there is more content in one box than the other, all 3 columns are long. Is there any way to make the other 2 shorter, so you can add additional sections beneath them? It don't have enough content to fill the other 2 boxes. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you.

Hi Tamsin,

I'm pretty sure that you can't achieve that with the built-in features of the editor as the whole page layout features is not meant to be that flexible but more about providing an easy to use way to structure your content. So each section is like a closed part in itself and won't mix with a previous or following one. More advanced and appealing page layouts always need some additional apps for Confluence and often a bit of familiarity with HTML/CSS.

Best, Max

@Tamsin Stirling I agree with @Max Foerster - K15t  -- there is nothing out of the box you can use.

There are plugins that give Confluence a 'Theme', which you could try (I use RefinedTheme for our company Intranet and it lets me do stuff like the below with layouts):image.png
