Formatting

[Jason Peterson]

First off, Thank you very much for all your help you all have been great!  I wanted to ask a question about formatting.

So I am using TW5 and I copy something from another source say Word or a web page and when I get done putting it in as I wish it to look then click on the checkbox or use the preview pane I see that it's not what I want. And I have to go and put in a bunch of <br> to get spacing and formatting correct. Is there a way to set it so it will stay as I type it?  Example below

Want and what is copied from the other location

I love TW5 and hope it stays around for many a year.

This is what I get w/o edits

Hi Jason,

Your problem is well known: TW5 creates new paragraphs based on double linebreaks.

Personally I sometimes use Code Block formatting if I have not the time to re-format:

For web documents you could copy HTML insread of content – that looks special in edit view but saves a lot of time.

Good luck!

Hi Jason,

For ordinary text (no code) you can use triple quotes ("""), see http://tiddlywiki.com/#Hard%20Linebreaks%20in%20WikiText
