Recent problems with mod page formatting

[kryptopyr]

I've recently noticed that there is now an option when creating/editing a mod page to view the description in BBCODE or in a closer approximation to the actual page appearance. I'm not sure exactly when this change was made (I only noticed it about a week ago), but I've now tried to edit a couple of mod pages using this new feature and both times the formatting has been incorrect.

 

The problem I'm having is that paragraph spacing isn't showing correctly on the actual mod page. It will look correct while editing, but once saved, the spacing will be gone and the paragraphs will run together. This will happen regardless of whether I try to edit the page in the BBCODE view or the new editing view. This problem doesn't occur for every paragraph break, only some of them, but there is no visible difference in the page code that would indicate why some of the paragraphs are running together and other aren't.

 

I've never experienced any problems formatting pages before, and I'm now reluctant to touch any of my other mods for fear of irreversibly messing up their current formatting. I doubt that I'm the only one affected by this, but some of my mods have rather lengthy description pages which means I rely a lot on formatting to keep the information coherent.

 

I really like the idea behind the new formatting options, but I hope the formatting can be made to apply more consistently. Thank you.

 

 

For reference, the pages I've attempted to edit and have experienced problems with are:

Trade & Barter (under 'Trading Variables', "Race" and "Stolen Goods" should be starting new paragraphs, and also "Restocking Time" under 'Merchants'.)

The Choice is Yours (there should be four separate paragraphs between the 'GEMS' badge and the Credits.

I have had the same issue. I spent about an hour trying to get some small captions to line up under Youtube videos but they keep losing all their spacing. And I had to go through an old page because there was about 10x the amount of tags necessary that got added in.

 

I like the idea, but there's still a lot of bugs. Which makes sense, since it's a new feature, but it's definitely pretty buggy.

Unfortunately, this still seems to be an issue. Can we please get the formatting fixed? I do appreciate the attempt at the new feature, but I'm still having problems with all the paragraphs running together. No matter what I try, I can't find a way to force a space between the paragraphs.

 

It might seem like a minor thing, but I'm having to avoid editing/updating any of my other mods due to this issue. That means that I can't add important information to my mod descriptions because I'm afraid that if I make any changes, the entire description might become illegible. Some of my mods have pretty lengthy, detailed descriptions, and if all those paragraphs started running together without any breaks, it would be a mess.

 

In the meantime, has anyone figured out a way to force a paragraph break or space between paragraphs?
