no.
no.
the following is an empty line
i.e. I typed this text with two consecutive ENTERs, no spaces in between.
Maybe you are pasting something with a different newline string? From some Notepad thingy?
Or maybe it is browser dependent (wouldn't know how). I'm using FF3.0

Maybe, IE8, I guess I should have said so in my post. I was using IE7 up until a couple of weeks ago.

Yet another reason to drop IE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, now accessing via AOL (IE6? 5?) and it has the blank line when a SPACE is present, not when there isn't.

OK,
IE7 shows no empty line for double ENTER entered by FF3 or IE7
FF3 shows an empty line for double ENTER entered by FF3 or IE7
==> it is an IE rendering problem.
It reminds me of the "missing table cell" phenomenon:
on a regular table, with tr and td tags, if one of the rows lacks a td /td pair, it shows fine on FF but not on IE, and I just learned yesterday there is some CSS command to say explicitly what should happen to "empty-cell"s

Adding a blank line works when using the WYSIWYG editor.
Line 1
Line after blank line
I did this using:
<pre>Line 1
Line after blank line</pre>

My current view is:
IE7 shows no empty line for double ENTER entered by FF3 or IE7
FF3 shows an empty line for double ENTER entered by FF3 or IE7
==> it is an IE rendering problem.

Ah. In IE8 when you use 'compatibility mode' the blank line disappears.
How truly odd.

I haven't installed IE8, I'll wait some more. And I avoid using IE7, all I use it for is checking my web pages when they are almost done.
Using FF2, then FF3, I haven't had any empty-line problems for many months now. I hope it will stay that way.

At the moment, they're all displaying the blank line.

IIRC, there is a mode that deliberately does not follow HTML/CSS standards (but tries to be as wrong as IE7) and of course that is what Microsoft calls compatibility mode; whereas the way that is supposed to follow the official standards would be "incompatible" in their view.

There is IE8 mode and IE7 mode (compatibility mode). IE7 is far less compliant than IE8 so sites designed for IE7 can break on IE8. Then there is Standards and Quirks mode, and in Quirks mode all sorts of little weirdnesses (besides the normal browser weirdnesses) are introduced.
Our pages render in Standards mode, so it's just an issue with IE7 vs IE8 rendering. I'll have to look into what I can do to workaround it.

With the slight possibility that it's intermittent or somehow a problem in the server.
Currently on this thread I see blank lines whether there's a SPACE or not, but on that[^] post I see none even though I see SPACEs when I open it in edit -- I suspect that if I save it again it will show blank lines.
It also remains that I usually don't see the graphic for , but some times I do, and that was under IE7 as well.

Interesting.
Is there a way the page can instruct the browser which mode it should use (or in which order it should try the modes, or ...) or is it just a user setting, that "has to fit all pages"?

On the Tools menu there is access to a Compatibility View Settings dialog[^].
There you can have All websites use compatibility view and/or Intranet sites.
The user can also add specific sites to a list to use compatibility view.
From what I can see, I'm not using compatibility view.

And yet you still don't see empty lines?
Did you try FireFox?

I do on this thread, not on the other.
I don't have FireFox on this system at this time, I reinstalled everything a few weeks ago, hence IE8.
Line 1
line 2, no SPACE, not copied
Line 3
line 4, no SPACE, copied
Result: I do see the blank lines above.
|
|
|
|
|
Line 5
Line 6
Here I did put a SPACE and didn't get the blank line, but I'll see how it looks after I save an edit.
Second edit -- I still saw no blank line.
Third edit -- Still no blank line. I did "View source" and saw:
<pre><br />Line <span class="code-digit">5</span><br /> <br />Line <span class="code-digit">6</span><br /></pre><
So the blank line should be there.

I (with FF) see empty lines everywhere.
I (with IE7) see only one empty line (5-6)
As I said before, it is an IE rendering issue, your input is fine, even with IE.

So it seems. Or it could be a CSS problem, but what do I know?
|
|
|
|

Alright, things are going crazy, and it's not just me. Might the editor be removing SPACEs in some cases?

I just received an email from a reader of my article Font Survey: 42 of the Best Monospaced Programming Fonts. The email message started with the line "[reader] has posted a new comment at "Article "Font Survey: 30 of the Best Programming Fonts"". (My underlining). Obviously the CP email generator is picking up the initial title of the article, rather than the current title.
