Technical Question? Spacing...

[Bill “Papa” Lee]

I have noticed that when typing threads or replies that double spacing occurs. Example: While trying to reply to a thread I used a poem to make my point. Between each line when hitting the return key it appeared double spaced. Why? Also how do I repair this? 

Any suggestions?

I think it's just the formatting of the new board. 

I can see how it would be annoying when quoting poetry.

Depending on the site formatting,
Oftentimes a Shift-Enter will do a single space.

It looks like it works here.
At least it does for me.

I have noticed the same thing, and I think the spacing issue started after the board update.

Double spacing is an important thing to learn early. It got me through so many High School and College papers.

The Godless say, this is the end.

The foolish say, I do not know?

The dying say, just let me go!

OK...Let me try a full sentence or comments to try a natural return and see how it works. Beyond this I am at a lose as to the means to quote poetry or lyrics. So here is hoping that I can figure this out. However with poetry or lyrics one does not type in the standard sentence structure.

Try cutting and pasting.                                                                                                                           Spacing using the space bar might work, testing here to see.  It works in the replying mode.

The actual response is wider however, so it doesn't work.

Those were cut and paste.

Using the Shift/Enter keys
together works for me.

Testing

not for me, but I am on my ipad which proably doesn't allow combining keys.
