If you want to publish longer articles on the map, for which all popup formats are too small, you can use the longread article format. Articles created in this way can be published in pop-ups that occupy about 3/4 of the map window. Since this is a special format, such an article is not created from the popups, but in a separate form. To display the article in a popup, copy the URL of the article and paste it as a direct link to the desired dot.
