Page Templates and Line Breaks

    From what I can see, this topic has been covered a lot, so it must point to a small weakness in WordPress (no flaming please, because I love WP).

    In spite of the many posts on this topic, it seems like many of the topics are 2 years old, so I am going to post this question in hopes of getting some current input.

    I want to introduce several line breaks in pages that I make.

    A carriage return = one line break, however;

    TWO carriage returns = only one line break. And

    THREE carriage returns = yet again, one line break!

    I have tried inserting code, such as , <p> etc. and nothing works.

    Is this fixable?

    One day WordPress will start formatting extra lines as empty
    elements or a collection of tags, and suddenly hundreds, if not thousands, of WordPress users will come to the forums asking why they have all these extra lines in their posts, and how can they remove them…

    One solution is to place this* on each line you want to create a break for:

    &nbsp;

    or some other non-displaying character entity. An extended <pre> element will work just as well. Basically anything which will force WordPress to jump the line.

    * When using the visual rich (wysiwyg) editor you’ll probably have to use the Edit HTML source button to insert your code — though as I’m not a user of that editor, I can’t tell you if this will provide a final solution.

    Thanks for the post.

    One other question.

    New to WP and still learning the ropes.

    Where is the WYSIWYG WP editor everyone is talking about?
