When your diary entry is saved to the World of Sense database, the line breaks you have inserted are not saved. This is partly to save on space, but also because I have to re-write some of the system! If you are familiar with HTML scripting, you can use quite a few of the formatting tags in your entry, but please check your work after you have saved it as the system does not check your HTML for errors!

If you are not familiar with HTML, never fear! All you need to know is this bit here:

Creating Paragraphs

There are a couple of ways of turning a long stream of text into several paragraphs...

• Method One
  
  The 'proper' way of doing it is to put a pair of paragraph tags around the text,
  
  i.e. <P>Lots and lots of sentences...</P><P>Some more sentences...</P>


• Method Two
  
  If you're not used to using HTML tags, you may prefer to put in a couple of break tags to throw new lines (or carriage returns, as the typists among you may prefer to call them),
  
  i.e. Lots and lots of sentences...<BR><BR>Some more sentences...

Of course, if you would like to know how to format your entry in any other way, please contact me and I'll help.

Tip: If you write long entries and find that the server times out, write your entry into your preferred desktop editor and then cut and paste it into the website editor. The time out is a security feature, and is to do with your cookie expiring. Please see The Minstrel's cookie article on the Privacysense website for further information about how this works.
