Format of post

  • I've noticed that when I submit a post, the carriage returns are removed.

    This makes readability poor as everything is just word-wrapped. Sometimes I use carriage returns to 'set off' part of my post.

    Can it be 'fixed' to allow carriage returns?

  • Used to happen to me, even on old site. I've gotten in the habit of putting an extra space at the end of each line before I cut & paste from Q/A. That seemed to help alot.

    The old site had a "Code" "EndCode" bracketet mode. Is there anything like that on this new site?

    Also, I seem to loose my tab indentations when posting coce from Q/A into a message post here.

  • I'll try that with the extra carriage return. But if you haven't noticed, you lose the carriage returns even when you are just typing in your thread itself.

    I put a single carriage return after the word itself. above and look what happened.

  • Test Post: [This line has space at end]

    From Q/A w/o ending space:[This line has space at end]

    Q/A test Post

     This Line has 1 tab indent at beginning

        This line has 4 spaces at beginning

    [This line has space at end]

    From Q/A with ending space:[This line has space at end]

    Q/A test Post

     This Line has 1 tab indent at beginning

        This line has 4 spaces at beginning

  • Seems to handle my C&P from Q/A alright, just the tab indent does not look great

  • Whoopss! I misread your post and used an extra carriage return (blank line). I'll try the extra space now.

    But like I said, even just this post I'm making now. The line that starts with "But like..." was a new paragraph. It should stay a new paragraph, but it doesn't.

    After "doesn't." I put two spaces and one carriage return (blank line). Let's see if that works. But regardless, a blank line in my typing should stay a blank line in my post.

  • Agree that losing blank lines doesnt make sense. Not something we're doing on purpose, will look into this as well.
