Journal HTML

[skot]

I'm not able to get the HTML in my journal messages to work. As a result, I have one very long paragraph in every entry. Does anyone klnow of a work around for this?
Thanks

Try using <br><br> where you want a paragraph break.

Thanks, dharden. It worked! I had been trying to use the <p> function.

I did a small test in my journal, and it appears that <br> and </br> are treated the same.

Yes. It depends, though, on the browser you're using. Some require both so I usually include both just to be certain.

Good to have both methods. The faster and the safer. Luckily for me, the faster works. It saves a great deal of time.

Dave,

Thanks for the advice. I was interested in dharden's findings because nobody on the site is more reliable, dedicated, helpful, and truthful to everyone--present company excluded, of course. :wink:

The reason for my interest is that the use of one symbol saves a lot of time if one is reformatting 50 or 100 or more Journal entries. With one symbol, it's a matter of clicking on the proper space and then using Alt+E+P or a simple home-made macro. Point and shoot, as it were.

I wish there were other readily available codes, such as "center," etc., for the Journals. Maybe someone will discover them.

BTW, I like "blah, blah"! That's the same short version I use when somebody has nothing except a tiresome story that begins "I was born." Admittedly, with some people even that statement can be a bone of contention, but with most it's hardly noteworthy. In New York City, "blah, blah" is being overtaken by "yadda, yadda." Different strokes, different pedigree.

Thanks again for your help. Much appreciated!

I think it's time to declare this topic dead as I don't see anything here that is helping with the site in any way.
