Magic words?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

I have recently been posting responses to several of the posts on this forum and can't for the life of me figure out how to get them up in paragraph form. I space over for indents and press enter at the end of paragraphs but to no avail. It all comes up as one big blob. Are there magic words I have to say or what?

Double return to paragraph space. Two "enters" equal one blank line.

And the space bar works for me for indents.

that translates to :

'clik-clik' & 'tic-tic' respectively.

I thought the magic words were "please and thank you"

Taht works Jay? I ahve the same problem as Erika except when i feel the need to I was using soem simple html tags to get the same effect. I'll try your way though

Guess if this isn't seperated by a space I'm back to the old html thing

This is a _very_ simple message editor thingy. It needs to see 2 carrage returns (press enter twice) to make a paragraph. And the Tab key is almost useless on the internet, only changes from one field to another - it does not set the same tab spacing on different web browsers or computers. Use spaces to set indents - and with preportional fonts, these will not come out the same on different web browsers either, so don't bother trying to make a niffty indented and spaced chart - it will look like crap to about 1/2 the folks.

The limits of about 100 difffernt 'standards' in the computer world. :) Just keep things simple.
