Line spacing on forum posts

Profile picture for user HeiHei29er

Any ideas on how to keep posts from double spacing when creating a forum/blog post?  Every time I hit "Enter" it double spaces.  Here's an example...

Using the Bullet list format will also give single spacing; the bullets seem to disappear upon posting:

  • 180 g AP flour
  • 112.5 g Bread flour

But the Shift+Enter is definitely easier.

 

As you can see from alcophile's post, the bullets reappear in the published version. Why they don't show up in preview, I don't know.

As for indenting a line, the only way I've found so far is to use the space bar. If anyone else knows the trick, without bullets or numbers, I'm interested too. Especially a proper indent that moves the whole paragraph and not just the first line. I don't like the quote feature for this because it forces italics.

Thanks for noticing this. I only looked at the preview and hadn't paid attention to the actual post.

There is an ASCII character for TAB (Alt+009) that inserts a TAB in MS Word, but it does not seem to work in this text editor.

Indeed, thanks for pointing this out. I thought alcophile had used some trick since the bulleted text has a different font colour. But now I see the numbered list is also in that colour. Must be a quirk of the system.

I suppose no one expects forum posters to be this interested in typography.
