Formatting stories

Postby alecleamus » Mon Oct 26, 2020 8:19 am

Is there a proper way to post a story and retain formatting? I remember in the past I had to manually walk through my story and insert spacing. It is very tedious. Right now, I have tried several methods and the paragraphs and dialog all run together. It is not that way on my end. Is there something I am missing?

If you make your story in word, I recommend you to do a global replace in your document. Search for ^p and replace it by ^p^p

That will make and extra white line between paragraphs but it will display correctly on the site. I usually save my story and then do the search and replace noted above, select all the text and copy paste it to the site, and I don't save my document after that (or undo the changes).
