Let me fill out hscer's explanation of paragraphin a little; as I'm not expert in HTML or XML, it took me a while to figure out how the specific conventions of Sporcle's comment section work. The code you want to enter to start a new line (the equivalent of hitting the carriage return on a typewriter, or "Enter" in a word-processing program) is <br> , and to create a blank line, enter it twice (like hitting carriage return twice); <br> <br> . The location of < and > varies with keyboards, on my U.S. Compaq one for Windows, < is above (shifted from) comma (,) and > is above period/full-stop (.)
[And for those wondering how to make < and > appear here without hiding what's in between (e.g., "br"), they're specific codes to display the symbol without hiding anything. To create < place "lt" between an ampersand (;) and a semi-colon (;). To create > appear, place "gt" between the & and the ;. "lt" stands for "less than", as in the mathematical symbol, e.g. 1 < 2, while "gt" stands for "greater than" as in 2 > 1 . I always make the mistake of thinking of "l" as "left" and its partner as "right", giving the non-working code of &rt; ] |
