Profile Editing

[Osiris Ronas]

Hello, I am trying to add paragraph/line breaks in my profile but they are not working. I tried a bunch of things like /p, /n,

,
, and some others. Rather than trying everything under the sun, can someone please tell me how to do it properly? Thank you.

The only way I could figure out to do this was by putting a period on the line between the two paragraphs.  Look at my profile for an example of what I mean... https://my.secondlife.com/dresden.ceriano

Use <enter> and put a line space between paragraphs.

That doesn't work on profiles.

i am able to get blank lines in profiles by using a line with only a space. this works for me both on the my.secondlife.com form and the legacy profile editor in viewers like Firestorm.

Works for me too

I'm happy for you, but, meanwhile, I can't do that and obviously neither can the OP.  If you can explain how to rectify this discrepancy without doing exactly as I have described, I'd be elated to know.  I'm being completely honest here, I really would like to know.

And yet your profile, unlike Obviously's, has no spaces between paragraphs whatsoever... care to explain that?

I'm not sure why it's not working for you, to be honest. I have line breaks, and all I did was hit enter and added some type of character(space, or otherwise)

I had a ~ symbol in there by itself, and took it out, replaced it with hitting enter and adding a space, then enter again, saved and waited a few for mysecondlife to update, and it worked fine. The ~ symbol is back in there now, but a space and the ~ worked exactly the same. I have both in there now, and both work as a line break, so I can assume any character should work. But you may not see the changes immediately, that much I do know.

i don't really do anything special, just press the spacebar then enter.

it's possible that something in your browser or OS settings could be stripping blanks. you could try adding a non-breaking space or other whitespace character instead. on Windows you would hold down the alt key and type 255 on the numpad. for other operating systems see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-breaking_space#Keyboard_entry_methods

Well duh, I obviously needed more sleep and/or more coffee, since it had to be explicitly spelled out for me, as if I were a 4 year old, before I could understand what you all were saying to do... lol.
