[TYPO3-english] spaceBefore and spaceAfter of Content Elements gone for good?

[Arne-Kolja Bachstein]

Hi,

I’m recommending not to do it, or to change the intended behavior completely.

Adding just input fields for it will break your content strategy, as every editor is able to add custom values that do not play well with your layout. Editors are evil when it comes to this ;) Additionally, you’ll be having trouble with different browser sizes. Additional margin on columns that break to rows when having a small display (e.g. smartphone) may result in out-of-context margins like a huge white area between two elements, that doesn’t belong there.

Regards

Arne
