Creating a list in a story without paragraph breaks

[MissAllison]

(posted this in How To as well, didn't know really the best place to post it, I apologize!)

Hey out there,

I have a piece that was (actually fortunately) sent back for a minor reason involving there being a website advertised (it was fictional). What I did notice however was that in going back through the piece, it would seem that they had formatted certain sections not the way I intended.

Let's say I want to have a poem in a story like the following:

Roses are red
Violets are blue
London is expensive
New York is too

Ok I just pulled that out of my ass. How would I indicate to Lit that I don't want paragraph breaks between each line? I don't want it to look like this:

Roses are red

Violets are blue

London etc you get it.

Can this happen? Is there an html trick to this? It happens a few times in my story so I don't think I could indicate all of those changes in the For the Admin box.

I believe that you need to submit the work via a file format that preserves the specific formatting you want. Then mention in the comments that there is special formatting to be maintained upon posting. Otherwise everything gets reset to the same font, spacing, alignment, etc . . .

I know this works for likes of bold, italics, centered text, but I am not sure about your specific issue.
