Disappearing lines

They should've told you what that HMTL tag is.

Rosemary, are you talking about line spaces between paragraphs/sentences? Or spaces between characters/words?

Thanks, I knew you would be there. The lines between paragraphs/sentences.
Thanks
Rosemary

Hi Rosemary -

If you want an entire line in between paragraphs, you use the <p></p>. Put the first one at the beginning of the paragraph and the second one at the end, like so:

<p>I am writing a paragraph to show how to use the html paragraph tags.</p>
<p>This is another paragraph to illustrate the point.</p>

And this is how it would turn out:

I am writing a paragraph to show how to use the html paragraph tags.

This is another paragraph to illustrate the point.

You have a full sapce between - much like hitting the return button twice after the end of a paragraph.

If you would like just a line break - like hitting the return button once - add the <br> tag to the end of the sentence (this tag exists by itself, it is not a pair), like so:

The < br > is very helpful for: <br>
lists<br>
things you would like to highlight<br>
poems<br>

And this is how it would turn out:

The < br > tag is very helpful for:
lists
things you would like to highlight
poems

Hope that helps you - and that it makes sense!

Thanks Cara,

Thanks for your response - of course it makes sense. I just don't understand why I have to jump over the rearrange the html when I copying and pasting through the W window. Why should I do that? That's what's not making sense to me.
Thanks again.
Rosemary

OK, well thanks for the response. I posted them and went to Ebay and revised them. It took less time.
Thanks again,
Rosemary

But if you're using the WYSIWYG editor (I'm assuming you are) then you shouldn't have to worry about knowing the tags. Hitting your Return button should do it.

Are you copying from Word or something like that?

If it's Word then I know there's a "Paste from Word" button (the one with the W on it) that's supposed to make that smoother, although I've never used it.

Or maybe you already know that and that's what you're using..
