You know what would be really great? If we could eliminate the "must be right-aligned" requirement to apply a background color to sidebars.
In some cases, there are sidebar explanations that when right-aligned, extend beyond the capsule they are intended to accompany, sometimes quite far beyond. This causes a mis-alignment of the following capsules, and sometimes, a funny-looking gap of white space. This can also interfere with appropriate placement of images.
In those instances, it would be helpful to have them ("sidebars") follow the capsule, instead of actually being on the side, but still with a colored background, to distinguish them from the rest of the article, and not have them seem to be an odd juxtaposition of text capsules that interrupt the flow of the actual article. The color would identify them as more of a parenthetical statement.
How about it, Hub Pages? It seems to me this would be a VERY easy "fix," simply a line code command or two.....it should be child's play for any competent programmer...
Thank you so much for the recommendation, DzyMsLizzy!
I will bring it up in our next community meeting and see what the team has to say.
Hi DzyMsLizzy!
When I brought this up with the team, they shared that this option was actually available on the site for a while, but was removed due to significan misuse that really detracted from Hubs' formatting and aesthetic appearance.
So while it is possible for us to do this, we have chosen not to due to the hazards that arise from making the option available. I hope that makes sense! ^_^;;
I've run into this, too. It would be nice if we could use the color to highlight text that is not just along the right side.
Sounds good - can't wait to create a checker board!!!
I think that's the problem HP faces - most will use this correctly - but it could lead to some pretty ugly hubs!
Maybe having the option of 'right' or 'left' coloring but not both?
that's a good point. what if we could have the option to 'highlight' only one section of regularly sized/aligned text capsule? and still keep the right align color?
Now there's a good idea--just as you can use the highlighter "pen" in a word processor.
Yes, i like that idea!!! But there has to be a limit to how many characters it could cover so it is not abused and overused.

The biggest issue I have with all capsules having to be full width is that there now seems to be no provision for sidebar content. I've had to eliminate several sidebar text capsules because although they have supplementary information that would be useful for the reader, they just can't be fitted...

I'd like to be able to use the poll capsule as a rhetorical device. Right now, you "click to see responses" and it opens up a "complete" poll with the results. Is there anyway you could add an option to allow for the "right answer" to show up after the...

Up until about a week ago I still had the option when editing my hubs to re-order capsules by clicking on them in the right hand box of the screen and dragging them up or down to the position I preferred them to be in within the hub, before then selecting the option to save the changes. This...

Why can I no longer indent each new paragraph in the text capsules? I noticed this a while back-I went to do some editing on an older hub and when I saved the capsule, the indent was gone. This drives me crazy! I prefer the look of indented paragraphs because I think it makes the text look neater...

Hi all I've created 6 pictures in one capsule. Now I thought from what I read it should turn into a slideshow once I have 5 or more pictures. Some say it's done automatically and others say it is an option once you create more than 5 pictures. Sorry for sounding dumb with this but are slideshows...

First, thanks to darkside's post, I was able to improve my hubs for Top Ten Reasons Why The Philippines Is A Great Tourist Destination.I can't however, put a background color on the toggled text capsule. Silly me, but I can't see which one to click/activate. It still says - available only when...
