I think I have a better solution I modified the BSAseries template to allow for a lowbox It is intended that the lowbox variable would be another template So I created a new template Template MBHistory that I believe better displays what you had in mind This approach keeps a single series template only one thing to edit plus it allows more flexibility in how the lowbox info would be presented images text etc I believe you will like this better As for white space underneath the portal tag I have looked at that and it s not caused by the series template but by the TOC Articles that have short lead ins and short TOCs do not have that problem I don t think there are any that are really bad now but if there s a specific one that is unappealing let me know and I will look into a solution
