    • Line wrap

    Posted by dcroxton

    I apologize if this is a dumb question (i.e., answered in the documentation), but I can't find anything on it.

    My Tiki blog wraps lines normally, but the article I wrote has no wrapping at all — the lines just continue forever out to the right. I suppose I could fix it using HTML (e.g. < p > tags), but it seems odd for default behaviour. Is this the way it is supposed to work? Is there another way short of HTML to change it to wrap like normal browser text?

    Sincerely,
    Derek

    Be sure all your lines start at the left margin, with no indents. A line that begins with a space won't wrap properly. Did you check that?

    Bless you, that was the problem. I was using a bulleted list, but (a) put a space between the bullet and the text, and (b) tried to create a paragraph beneath a bulleted point that didn't start a new bullet. (Like when you press ctrl-enter in Word, continuing under the same bullet, still indented at the same level.) I guess I will have to use &nsbp;.
