Vertical spacing

    I am working on a very long ordered list, and it needs to have a vertical blank space (what used to be a
    ) after each section. I have tried manually entering a
    in code, and doing a shift-enter in visual mode. Each time it adds them, them strips them out when the page is saved.

    After 3 times, this is getting pretty frustrating. How can I add a vertical space and have it *stay* where I put it?

    Thanks!

    Hello Vicky,
    Sorry for my delay.

    Can you please show me the code you are trying to use (before getting striped out by the editor)?

    Please be sure to use the backtick button (the ~ key without shift button) to wrap your html code.

    Hi Josh,

    No worries, thanks for getting back to me. I was putting a line break <br> after each line to add space. I didn’t know about the backtick button. I wasn’t trying to wrap, but to add a space.

    The code would be like this:

    <ol>
<li>text<br>
<li>text<br>

    and so on. And it keeps getting stripped. I have got wpedit pro (just bought it) and was going to see if that will let me keep the spacing in there.

    What do I need to do to keep WP from taking out the stuff I want to keep in?

    Thanks!!

    If you have Pro, then you can enable the break shortcode (posts/pages tab). Then, you can insert [break] instead of <br>.

    Alternatively, you can use <br class="none" /> instead of <br />, which should also be retained by the editor.

    Lastly, just fyi, use <br /> instead of <br> (when not in WP, of course). It’s better html ??

    You have no idea how ridiculous this project has been. When it is done, never again with this client, LOL. Please go ahead and mark this resolved, and thanks for the help.
