HELP!

[fembuck]

Does anyone know why LJ/Dreamwidth spacing is so funky when you cut & paste documents?  Every time I post fic, LJ/Dreamwidth automatically converts it to being double-spaced and then I have to go back and manually delete the extra spaces which is so incredibly boring and tedious.  I don't care how first world problems it is, I need for this not to be my life any more.  



DOES ANYONE?  Help me, please!

Turn off any funky Word paragraph settings and use actual double spacing between paragraphs, and this should translate into two regular line break codes in HTML

Seriously? That's so illogical that I totally believe it would work, lol.

Thanks for the tip, I'll give a try next time around :D

Seriously. It's all just about how HTML translates when you cut and paste from Word. HTML formatting is a totally different language and Word produces a metric ton of code junk.

Give it try and see if it works, but it should. I do a lot of HTML clean-up for the SCC virtual season and this happens when people send me Word docs with paragraph formatting instead of straight-up double spacing between paragraphs.
