This is a quick test to try and recreate spacing issues using nested expands:
Original Code
[expand title="%(%strong%)%ALAMANCE INDIANS%(%/strong%)% (1963 through 1964)"]
[expandsub2 title="FRANCHISE COLORS"]
[expandsub3 title="1963 through 1964: %(%strong%)%unknown%(%/strong%)%"]
[/expandsub3]
[/expandsub2]
[/expand]
Here are the results:
ALAMANCE INDIANS (1963 through 1964)
FRANCHISE COLORS
1963 through 1964: unknown
The main issue here is the amount of spacing after the first (and only the first) expand element.
Spacing Issue
Here we try and fix the spacing issue by wrapping it in a div:
<div>[expand title="%(%strong%)%ALAMANCE INDIANS%(%/strong%)% (1963 through 1964)"]
[expandsub2 title="FRANCHISE COLORS"]
[expandsub3 title="1963 through 1964: %(%strong%)%unknown%(%/strong%)%"]
[/expandsub3]
[/expandsub2]
[/expand]</div>
ALAMANCE INDIANS (1963 through 1964)
FRANCHISE COLORS
1963 through 1964: unknown
Hmmm… now why is this suddenly an issue?
