Notes

If you format your .htm file like the example above (with stacked <div> tags instead of <br /> lines), fields will automatically collapse if they are empty. For example, if a member has no address on file, the directory card will not show empty lines.
 
Each card is wrapped inside of a div with the class mpp_infoCard. Your skin can style the mpp_infoCard class as well as any html included in the directory format file.
