Paragraphing - make your posts readable

[IronParrot]

Okay, so here's the deal:

Many of you post long works that span several posts, nay, several chapters, that are probably copy-and-pasted from your word processor file. Some of them are incredibly hard to read, because Entmoot doesn't process paragraph indentations as tabs, and the lack of double-line-breaks (bad enough in their own right, but better) makes your work very hard to read. Because of that, I know I'm probably not the only one who finds it hard to make it through the entire piece and give you the constructive feedback you deserve.

So, here's a tip. For those of you using Microsoft Word - which should be most of you, and if you don't, you probably have enough computer savvy to figure out a similar solution yourself - instead of copy-and-pasting your entire file into a set of Entmoot posts, do this:

1) Go to Edit -> Replace...
2) In the "Find:" box, type "^p" (paragraph break).
3) In the "Replace With:" box, type "^l^l" (double line break - and that's a lowercase L, not an uppercase I).
4) Hit "Replace All".
5) Copy and paste the text into your posts.
6) Post them on the board.
7) Go back to your file and hit "Undo" to restore how you formatted your piece before.

Thanks - and if it doesn't work, let me know what the problem is and I'll be more than happy to walk you through it.
