Needing a little help.

Looking at the source code for story pages, paragraphs begin and and end with a "<br />" linebreak, for example:

Would it help to pre-format submissions by adding linebreaks for each paragraph? The story I want to submit is already formatted for html. I could replace all those <p>s and </p>s with <br />s just as easily as deleting them.

Why submit it, of course.

Done and done.

It looks like the submission form adds in its own line breaks. If you put in your own <br />s, it puts in double spaces between paragraphs.

It also appeared to take other hmtl formatting codes, like <small> and <big>, but I didn't want to push my luck.

Hi, Oblimo! Welcome to Lit and the AH.

Ok, so now I have a question, y'all. How do you get an indentation? I finished a new poem and I need to know.

For some reason, HTML is terrible at indentation. There is no common method, only various tricks, and many tricks produce completely different results on different sites (and in different browsers).

The most universal trick (I am told) is putting in one "&nbsp" (an html "non-breaking space" character) for each space in the indent you want. So for a five space indent you'd need to type:

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspQuoth the raven, "Take your laudanum before trying to touch-type, Edgar, sheesh."

There's also the <pre></pre> code (pre-formatting), between which text should appear exactly as you type it, spaces and all, in Courier font. But that depends on how Literotica defines its style-sheet thingies.

Hot fuckin' damn! This worked! FYI, <pre></pre> doesn't on Lit. *Bowing to the great Ob* I am eternally grateful. I went through the phase a while back where I played with HTML code and wrote a web site for a friend of mine. I forgot most of the codes and I lost the frickin' book.
