How can I avoid double spaces in the editor?

12 years ago

I DID get used to it, but I wonder if making the auto-double-space optional is easier for some writers, as it becomes annoying when the texts sometimes leaves the box.

I'm not sure what this is referring to? Do you mean when you hit ENTER?

Like this? If you hit ENTER, it starts a new Paragraph <p>.

This is a new <p>aragraph. But, If you hit SHIFT-ENTER, it will just break the line,
like this. I just inserted a <br />.

In general you should use <p>. A feature request that's going to be implemented sooner or later is customizable stylesheets, so you could change paragraph spacing if you don't like it. I would suggest using that over line breaks.

Ohhh.

I'd love for that to be implemented, as in my storygame conversations seem really weird since the lines are so spread out.

Will that be up before the new site, or will it be a part of it?

You can already use shift-enter. Watch:

Yeah, but in the editor that makes everything look really smushed. I'd much prefer if the format of the page in the editor just matched the page of the published story.

But I use my IPod for this site usually, so I can't do shift enter!

See?

This question is a bit confusing...

But if you want something like this:

ONE
TWO
THREE

Then you got to replace <p></p> in the 'Source' Button with <br /> and delete the leading <p>. It looks like this when you're done:

...something like this:</p>
<p>ONE<br />
TWO<br />
THREE</p>
