I have a page that has some pictures shown on it and want to add a large paragraph of text which applies to all the pictures. Is there any way of adding a large amount of text to a picture album page please.

Tricky one. You can add a bunch of text to the index page - see Tiger > Sections > Custom content. You can click and drag the sections on the right side of that settings tab, so that you could, for example, put that block of text before the image thumbnails instead of after them.

But that will appear only on the top-level index page, or it will show the same text on every index page. I'm guessing you'd like to have some text that's specific to a particular folder. Offhand, I can't think of a straightforward way of doing that, at least not in Tiger. Maybe I'm missing something....

Try Tiger>Pages>Show pages>Embed user pages.
Then add an empty page, place it before the images. The Title and comment fields then become the long text on the page.

I'd forgotten where that body was buried. My bad. ;)

Thank you everyone. I'll give that a go as it will help tidy up a few things.

Some instructions, to save you some mucking about....

  • Go to Tiger > Sections > Pages and choose Embed user pages only, and maybe Use box for pages (looks better, I think).
  • Open the folder in the Explore view and add an empty page - see addempty.png
  • Double-click the resulting HTT file to edit it - see openempty.png
  • Replace everything except the first and last lines with your own turgid prose - see editempty.png
  • See result.png
