h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I have not been able to make paragraphs on my pages. I have used the supplied text editor. I have Pasted text onto the editor and I type it in the usual way.

Two carrage returns as I have here.

When it compiles the page, my paragraphs disappear into a mulsh of continuous words. This is frustraaaaating to say the least. Can anyone Heeeelp - Pleeeeease. Vegiman

I'm stumped on that one too, but how do you get that impressive frowny face?

The little face is an emoiticon used when sending e-mails.
the compiler on this page turns it into the face.

: - ) with no spaces =

: - ( with no spaces =

In short [Colon] followed by [hyphen] followed by [Bracket]. It only seems to work when messaging and not when creating a page.

PS: have found out how to make paragraphs from Jim Lynn on the DONT PANIC PAGE. Here is a copy of his answer:

The simplest way is to use the tag to put line breaks in. The trailing / is necessary because we use XML, which doesn't like unclosed tags. represents an empty tag.

However, we'll shortly be improving our editing to allow you to just use returns to break up your paragraphs if you need to.

By the way sorry about the speeeeelling error on previous message, it should read [ emoticon not emoiticon]. vegiman
