+cbearw Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 When doing up the cache page for my first hides I have a problem with my paragraphs running together. More specifically under the space where one types in the description of the cache etc I type it all in in paragraph form but everything all gets joined into one giant paragraph when I finish up and submitt and review it. Is there a trick to keeping paragraphs seperate or am I just having another brain cramp/seniors moment. Anyone else ever had this occur? Thanks in advance....always computer challanged......cbearw Quote Link to comment
+Knight2000 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 If you write it in html that should fix it. I think you can write stuff in Word and then save it in hmtl format. Other than that, i dont know. Sorry. Quote Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 <p> to start a paragraph </p> to end it Check the Box that says the description is in HTML. Use <br> to force line breaks - otherwise the lines will adjust somewhat depending on the width of the browser window. Quote Link to comment
+cbearw Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 Thanks Knight 2000. I had been doing up the text in a document form at my own speed using microsoft works which came on the computer. I had read somewhere that doing it this way and then using copy/paste is best because of the 40 min time limit thing when doing up new cache pages. I'll pay more attention and try to save it in HTML format as you suggest. Thanks a bunch.................cbearw Quote Link to comment

After I paste my text in I'll insert those commands into the places I need them in the text. Thaks very much. It will be nice to break things up in paragraph form cbearw Quote Link to comment
Blue_Stone Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 (edited) Here's a few more things you can use to pretty up the text, like bold, italics, etc.. These all work just like the paragraph tag. Just use the listed tag like it appears below at the BEGINNING of the text you want to format, and add the / to the tag at the END of the text. ie to make bold text: <b>BOLD</b> = BOLD Text Formatting Tags Tag Description <b> Defines bold text <big> Defines big text <em> Defines emphasized text <i> Defines italic text <small> Defines small text <strong> Defines strong text <sub> Defines subscripted text <sup> Defines superscripted text Edited June 7, 2007 by Blue_stone Quote Link to comment
+cbearw Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 Blue Stone: Thanks very much for the extra editing tips. I'll give some a try on the next cache I do up which will be this weekend. Regards............cbearw Quote Link to comment

+poohstickz Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I just thought I'd add that you don't actually have to use HTML to get white space into your document. All you need is to insert hard carriage returns. i.e. hit enter twice in succession. If I've understood your question properly it was when you used copy/paste that you inadvertantly lost your formatting. Quote Link to comment
