    Hello B,

    I looked at your post and if I understand your question correctly...

    In the post box there are 2 views...you will see them in the upper right of the box.

    One is Visual...

    One is Text...

    In Visual Mode you have an editor you can use for formatting.

    Text Mode is used when you want to work in html...

    If you want to add paragraph spaces switch over to Visual and click into the text where you want a space and hit enter.

    My guess is you are working in Text mode and it will not understand a break unless you added code...

    Hope this helps...

    oops...just realized you asked for code...I think the code is <br>

    The code for an html paragraph is:

    Code:
    <p>Your paragraph text here</p>
    Try to avoid using break tags <br/> if possible since they add no real semantic meaning to the document. By contrast a paragraph tag denotes a section of text, and the browser automatically formats it as such with proper spacing.
