How to remove em dash from Content by Label macro output?

Kim Wallace_n4o9nv

I'm looking to remove the em dash that precedes the page excerpt in my content by label macro output.

I've added CSS to

• remove the icon
• put the page title and excerpt on separate lines

When I look at the page in HTML I see that em dash is enclosed with the excerpt content. How does it get there and how can I remove it?

Goal appearance is:

Page title

Excerpt text below.

Hi @Kim Wallace 

The '-' character is part of the Content by Label Macro output to separate the title and the page excerpt.

You might be able to remove the dash by using the following JavaScript code within an HTML macro in the same page.

<script type="text/javascript">
AJS.toInit(function(){
  AJS.$('ul.content-by-label.conf-macro.output-block > li > div.details > span.smalltext').each(function(){
    if($( this ).text().startsWith('— ')){
      var currentText = $( this ).html();
      $( this ).html(currentText.substring(2));
    }
  });
});
</script>

 

I hope  that helps.

Kind regards,
