Almost Fixed!! How Can I Stop The Extra Line?

  • I downloaded a new WYSIWYG editor and now I can control fonts.
    But after an hour of working on this and trying different methods I still cannot get rid of the extra line break in this section

    So how I make it look like a normal page? I’ll add the extra blank line by hitting the ‘ENTER’ key. I don’t want it done for me.

    So how is this text done?

    “Dean, mop your room floor?” demaned the cross dorm parent.
    “Why should I have to do that? I pay to come to this school!”

    I need no lines between paragraphs and tabs.

    Just as with this forum’s text, a single enter (return) after “cross dorm parent.” should give you this result (a new line, not a new paragraph). Two enters (return return) after “to this school!”” will give you a new paragraph. New lines should not have extra added space around them.

    Here’s what your text here gets automatically transformed to look like in code form (WordPress does this automatically too):

    <p>So how is this text done?</p>
<p>"Dean, mop your room floor?" demaned the cross dorm parent.<br />
"Why should I have to do that? I pay to come to this school!"</p>
<p> I need no lines between paragraphs and tabs.</p>

    I forgot to mention that <br /> is a line break.

    I think that isn’t exactly true. I can say also that my visual editor is acting a little silly since 2.6.2. Adding paragraphs and line breaks in strange places but only after the post is saved or published. It will not edit them real time if you switch views between visual or html, but it does insert a paragraph tag for me after only pressing enter once.

    The proper way to do this would be using SHIFT + ENTER to only go down one line, at which point the visual editor should insert a BR.

    I hope that makes sense and helps a little? I find that it does help to have a basic knowledge of HTML for situations like this, when the visual editor doesn’t play 100% nice.
