Shortcode suffusion-multic - top padding issue

[minty]

I'm trying to use the last shortcode example from here:
http://aquoid.com/news/themes/suffusion ... tionality/
to set up four 1/4 span columns.

It works fine except that each column seems to have increasing top padding. Example:

http://kuranuicollege.school.nz/kuranui-dashboard/ - it essentially uses this:

[suffusion-multic]
[suffusion-column width='1/4']A column with 1/4 the total width [/suffusion-column]
[suffusion-column width='1/4']A column with 1/4 the total width [/suffusion-column]
[suffusion-column width='1/4']A column with 1/4 the total width[/suffusion-column]
[suffusion-column width='1/4']Another column with 1/4 the total width[/suffusion-column]
[/suffusion-multic]

All those columns should have their red title buttons lined up at the top.

Any idea what's going on? Should I be doing this a different way?

Cheers,
Minty

This is a bit of a pain. The culprit is core WP and to fix this, don't start the shortcode in a new line. When you do that you will need to put a space at the start of each shortcode.

Heh. Okay, that's a workaround I can live with. Sorted now.

Thanks, Sayontan. You may want to add that as a note to your shortcodes page (and the code example there has an extra opening bracket, btw).

It is already mentioned on the page:

Mind you, WP has a nasty habit of inserting <p> tags at line breaks, so you might have to be careful about stripping out new lines from the above code before using it.

(and the code example there has an extra opening bracket, btw)

That is due to a conflict with the SyntaxHighlighter Evolved plugin - when I wrote the page I figured that the one extra brace was the only way the rest of that code could be written without breaking.

I'm a moron. I scanned that as "careful about it stripping out new lines" ... ie, careful about WP stripping out new lines. I looked at my code and thought "Oh, good, it hasn't."

Duh. All good now. Many thanks, Sayontan!
