Continue To Fail at Paragraph & Line Breaks

02/16/2009 10:13 PM

I continue to fail to be posted as I have written, with spaces, and indents for paragraphs. /Recommendations have been wait for edit. -Use Cursor. /Wonder if the Webmaster will institute click button that will take writing as written? I have waited. I have redone to space. Then when I hit submit it goes back to run on clump of words that is reported to hurt some readers brains. I am working on it best I can.

MAC OSX Version 10.5.5 (G5) Browser wife says is AT&T. Get to CR4 via Hotmail, if that makes any difference. Thanks for interest.

CR4 strips out what it considers to be extra whitespace, so you will not be able to indent text on a line. This isn't something we are considering changing right now. Inserting paragraphs is the best way to go, and all you have to do there is hit Enter.

FYI, the last icon in the editor toolbar (the little "Clean up" broom) will "clean up" (which is to say, strip out) whitespace, etc while you are editing, so you can click that at any time to see what the result will look like before posting.

Thanks
- Mark

Ah, I think I finally understand what is happening... if you are seeing the instructions that say to insert "[p]" into your message then you are not using the "nice" editor that everyone else uses. The "nice" editor works requires Javascript and is supported on the major browsers (IE and Firefox, for example, plus some others).

If you think you should be able to use the nice editor (so, you not disabling javascript and are using IE or Firefox) then you can contact cr4admin@globalspec.com and we can help you figure out why you are not getting the editor.

Thanks
