   For some reason (maybe its a "feature"?) when I go to make a post in WordPress with extra blank lines the formatting tool takes them out and closes the gaps between paragraphs.

   For example, if I made in the tool the post

   "Hello.
   .
   .
   .
   .
   .
   .
   .
   .
   Hello from down here"

   (pretend those "." are not there as this thing auto formats the blank lines too, which is why I had to edit this post to include them"

   WordPress will auto format that to be

   "Hello.

   Hello from down here"

   I have tried forcing in br tags in the html and even that is discarded. How do I keep WordPress from auto formatting things?

   You need to remove the wpautop filter from your post content.

   It seems like every post asking how to do this just tells the person to search for wpautop.

   Is there a link to how to do it?

   Or..

   How can I just force in multiple blank lines into a post?

   Use the view html button and insert some <br /> tags?
