While we’re on the subject of how to post, how do you skip a space after putting something in italics?
When I italicize something, what comes next always posts in the same area the italicized part, even if I leave a blank line in my typed reply.
Hope what I’m asking makes sense...
When you use any html tags on FR, you’re committed to using them for everything. The “HTML auto-detect” function on FR turns off all formatting due to the presence of the < i > and < /i >. You have to add a line break tag < br > or a paragraph tag < p > because you italicized.
As always, remove the blank spaces in the tag, they’re only there so the “tag” will show as text.
You have to use a P tag to make paragraphs if you use the I tag. FreeRepublic is set up so any use of HTML tags require the use of all such tags throughout the post. If you simply want to make paragraphs without the I tag then just space them out. Other wise put a P tag at the end of each paragraph(or the beginning depending on how you look at it!) Don’t forget to enclose the tag with the < > markers.
I don't know......But what I do know is that if you're at the mall this weekend shopping for sales or returning stuff and driving around the parking lot looking for a place to park, you don't want to skip a space there or else the guy right behind you will zip in and take it then you're left to continue driving around aimlessly......
trying again . . . I could look up how to do this . . . vs futzing around .
basically the “br” (break)
code will do what you ask.
br in left and right carets
End your italics line with a < p > (no spaces).
