Yeah, please really look into it and try to solve it as quickly as possible, because if every user of 37 million people would spend 1 minute on doing line spacing manually in HTML, then

you would save

37 million minutes of lifetime for the collective human society by solving this matter.

And people don't deal with this issue for 1 minute, I am struggling with this line spacing issue for more than 8 hours already

IF there are 37 million users,

Then you would do those 37 million users a VERY BIG favour by enabling line spacing in the visual editor and post editing in the forum.

If there are so many users, then it is even more important to solve issues like line spacing.

Think about how much time it would save for everyone...

Not saying that you won't do it doesn't mean that you will do it either...

I mean... guys you should seriously look into it and solve it no matter what. It's a gravely important matter.

It's already 2012 and people want to create decent websites without dealing with code for basic issues like line spacing.

You cannot edit posts on this forum.

The typos are frequent.

what happens if you complete you post and add a "." or something, add those line spaces manually in HTML and then suddenly want to edit, go to the visual editor and then ALL your spaces get deleted because you used the visual editor.

It is a bug that needs to be fixed.

I think that wordpress should take control of this kind of a thing like apple does, even if it's a third party application.

Because this kind of an important issue can totally ruin the customer experience 100%.

Almost every other blogging platform allows line spacing in a decent way without having to deal with code so why wordpress cannot do it? I am sure that wordpress can do it too.

It seems like a small thing, but It's actually an extremely important issue for customers

Anything more than a double line break will require the extra work in the HTML editor tab for now.

For now, I recommend just adding your line breaks last in the HTML editor tab (when you're done with everything else), then save.

For anyone else catching up, the code that is working for a line break right now is:

People who want to write a blog don't want to write a post and then manually enter nbsp; in HTML for every blank line that they want to create for 10 years.

1) Will I have to input the code "nbsp;" in the HTML editor until the day I die, for tens and tens of years or is there a way to make it so that I can use the Visual editor and just use the normal enter to make line spaces.

It works with nbsp;

This is the tag that you already had working.

Just add it for each line break in the HTML editor, do not switch to the Visual editor, and save.

added <br/

then didnt switch to the visual tab as you said, then

Opened the website link of that post.

And no change.

In the HTML editor tab and don't switch back to the Visual editor tab. It will save.

Just enter that in the HTML editor tab, do not switch to the Visual editor tab, and save. In this case, you may need to do your line breaks last in the HTML editor tab, as switching to the Visual tab seems to remove them.

"<br /
<br /
<br / "

basically what I meant to say is:

I open the HTML editor tab,

write:
<br /
<br /
<br /

then save.

And look at the Visual tab. And no change.

Then switch to the HTML editor tab, and

<br /
<br /
<br /

That I wrote is gone.

write:

then save.

And look at the Visual tab. And no change.

Then switch to the HTML editor tab, and

That I wrote is gone.

Regardless, it looks like you're on to something with the non-breaking spaces. Neat trick!

For anyone else following along, try this on each line in the HTML editor tab:

2) The line breaks after saving are gone. In the HTML version of the page it does not show the line spaces after saving. Which means that they get deleted in the process of saving.

The line breaks are indeed saved and appearing in the code, they just aren't being rendered by the browser, which is something that we really don't have control over.
