How do I insert a paragraph in my post?

Question

I find it so annoying that whenever I complete a post, due to a lack of paragaphs it looks slightly scruffy, and even when I insert a line dividing thing, my post still maintains its scruffiness. Because of this, some people probably switch off and don't even attempt to read my post or answer my question. So, I put it to you.....whoever you are.......how do I insert a paragraph into my posts?

Answer 1

I had a look at this link:

http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax

It suggests putting at least two spaces at the end of a line before enter will insert a break.

Without -

Line 1 Line 2 Line 3

With -

Line 1
Line 2
Line 3

It works!!

Answer 2

If you want to indent the paragraph then for each paragraph use the text-indent property. If you want to increase the space between paragraphs, you can use the margin-top property. Copy the following html markup and type your paragraph before between the closing and opening angle brackets "**>

Caution...If you edit this post, the markup instrucions will disappear. - Izanoni1, Dec 9, 2009

Answer 3

Is this what you had in mind for inserting a paragraph, meaning were you talking about an indented line or were you referring to the amount of space between each line?

For example, did you want for the the next line to be further apart than normal like this paragraph is, or did you have something else in mind. What, specifically, were you looking to do with your paragraphs?

Or were you possibly talking about indenting the entire paragraph on both sides so that it is blocked off from the rest of the text as this one is? It would help if you were to specify what exactly you meant by paragraph formatting, as there are many different options available to format a paragraph.

Or were you even possibly referring to text color, size and font?

Very funny...you know what I meant.....I meant how to increase the amount of space between each line - Seb79, Dec 9, 2009

Just hit enter twice and you'll get a space between paragraphs. - --Mariana--, Dec 9, 2009

Actually, I didn't know what exactly you meant, which is why I provided examples to see if any of these were what you were referring to. - Izanoni1, Dec 9, 2009

Sorry about all the show-boating Marianne...It was the whole "el Yo" post from yesterday...It must have swollen my head :)). - Izanoni1, Dec 9, 2009

Answer 4

As for as I know, you can't do a tab indent to indicate a paragraph. I just put a space between my paragraphs....like this...

to make it easier to read. You can get that extra space by hitting the "enter" button twice.

You can do quoted paragraphs by putting a ">" in front of the text...

like this.
