    Use Your Journal

    This is a Public Service Announcement which will be reposted in the CF Help and Feedback Folder. I know this post doesn't really belong here but more people read this folder.

    If you go to the "Your Account" tab, you will see a button for a "Journal." Essentially a "Journal" is a blog that you get free with your CF membership. You could record details of your campaign, share with the world your thoughts about everything ot nothing etc.

    The problem has been that whatever you typed would come out as a single mass of text with no paragraphs. This bothered me no end and I asked for help. Thanks to Chatdemon and Tedra, this problem is solved.

    You need to "tag" your paragraphs so that they show up as paragraphs.

    Before a paragraph you need to add "Less than symbol" then "br" then a "greater than symbol" - like this - <br>

    When you want to end a paragraph you need to add "Less than symbol" then a "backslash symbol" then "br" followed by a "greater than symbol" -like this - </br>

    With each of your paragraphs bracketed like this, they will show up as paragraphs.

    This type of coding may also work when you submit a review to CF (which otherwise outputs a lump of text with no paragraphs), but I have not tried that yet.

    Again, many thanks to Chatdemon and Tedra. Happy

    That is improper use of the break tag, there should be no </br> element. A <br> tag is used whereever you want a line break, that's it. Using the tags incorrectly may cause the text to display wrong on some browsers.

    You are right. I just tried that and it works. I must have screwed up trying it earlier.

    Thanks, again. Smile
