OK. Try this.
Type a few sentences, separating them with a blank line where yuo want paragraphs. Add at least one misspelling (like yuo at the left.)
Click the Spell [] BEFORE you submit. After changing the misspelled word, you will see the formats for < p > and < /p > (without the spaces) in the posting.
A few hints:
< b > is to start bold; < /b > is to end bold.
< i > is to start italics; < /i > is to stop italics.
< br > is to make a line break (carriage return).
< p > is to make a paragraph break.
Bill
Richard Lugar is such a son of a bitch.
< b > is to start bold; < /b > is to end bold.
I already know that......in the preamble post above I put them before and after the last full sentence. As always, the preview shows the full post (including the OT part) as one sentence.
This happens every time I try to bold, whether the post is a copy/paste fron another site, my typing, or a combination. I think it might be a browser setting or something like that.
Rarely, a simple copy/paste from elsewhere will do the same (without me even trying to bold any part of it), but I have learned to (in the preview/edit function) remove all HTML tags in such instances......
Only once or twice in 3 years at FR has it ever worked right for me. OTOH, posting pics has worked OK every time since I learned to do it.
Lugar....yep! Sponsored the most recent DREAM Act reintroduction, last week. Him, Durbin and Hagel.
If you add any HTML tags, an automatic conversion to HTML that would otherwise retain paragraph formatting is not performed. Instead, you have to manually insert the HTML for the effects you want, including paragraphs. It's all or nothing.
I'm pretty sure there's a tutorial around here somewhere . . .
I have contacted my two Senators, the President and the Vice-President regarding this matter.
I hope they are listening and can see some validity to all the negative feedback they are getting on the LOST Treaty.

What I do is open Outlook Express. I type what I want to type the way I want to type it as if I am writing an email. Look down at the bottom. You will see 3 tabs. Click on the middle one for “Source”. That will convert anything you’ve written to html. Then copy and paste that to your comments box on FR. FR will do the rest.
The honorable Senator Isakson from Ga. opposes this bill and voted against it in committee. I thanked his staff.
Senator Chambliss has taken no position on it.
I did NOT thank him, but rather reminded him where his votes and funds came from and what we expected from him.
That’s odd. I had it the other way around a couple weeks ago.
Chambliss’ office said that he opposed and Isaakson had no position. I called Isaakson yesterday and found out he voted no, so I thought we were ok.
*Scurries off to nag that weasel Chambliss some more....*
I just called his office and they said he was opposed.
Which office did you call?
800 965-4701 Senate office.
I hope the response to you was the latest(correct) one.
