What's the deal with the double-return thing in these forums? RRS feed

    I keep putting quadruple returns between my paragraphs since for some reason the forum puts in two for each press of the "enter" key.

    Is there a way to turn this off? It's very annoying.

    Thanks!

    You are creating  HTML.    One Enter equals paragraph (p).   Shift-Enter equals break  (br).   
     
    Use the  HTML  button to see what else your keystrokes generate, especially if you paste other HTML fragments into your posts.   You will be less frustrated than trying to imagine what keystroke sequence is necessary to produce whatever it is that you want to see.   ; )
