you are getting a space, its called a line break. What you want isnt accomplished by line breaks — its a style thing, most likely with your <p> tags.
look at the source of what just wrote, compare that to how it’s formatted.
<p><strong>Sentence1</strong></p>
<p><strong>Sentence2</strong></p>
<p>When writen like that in the editor it comes out as </p>
<p><strong>Sentence1<br />
Sentence2</strong></p>
<p> == paragraph ( you style those)
<br /> == break (just causes a new line)
rizzler:
You need to adjust your styles, not try to add extra space manually.
Look at your style.css file. You have the P tag set to have no margins and no padding. Of course you will get crushed together stuff that way.
Add this to the END of your theme’s style.css file:
p {
margin-bottom:1em;
}
And then go look up “Cascading Style Sheets” on the intertubes. Learn it. Love it.
hey Otto42, i added what you said in the end of my style.css file and reuploaded it. then i tryed to edit one of my posts and still cant get lines breaks between sentences, just look as this post. http://differentoffers.com/?p=9
at the bottom there is supposed to be linebreak between “ho wants it.” and “Start your own forums right now!” but i cant get none 🙁
rizzler: Adding that stuff doesn’t allow you to “add linebreaks”. You cannot just add linebreaks. It doesn’t work that way.
The code I gave you increases the space between paragraphs from what you had (none) to what I told you to add (1 em, which is about 1 line high).
Linebreaks that you attempt to add manually like that will be removed by WordPress. It’s not expecting you to enter HTML code. It’s expecting you to enter text and possibly image content. WordPress handles the formatting and display of that content. More specifically, your theme handles it.
Remember, your content is not only visible on your web page. It’s also put into your feeds, and people can then read it via feed readers, or via syndication, or things of that nature. You put in the content, and let other bits handle how that content is displayed.
The whole notion of entering multiple lines or line breaks in order to add vertical space is antiquated and obsolete. We don’t do that sort of thing on the internet anymore. That’s the sort of thing you did with typewriters, not with computers.
