Hello. To get to the point quickly, I'm writing a long story, so each scenes become standalone chapters when I publish them online. This means I depend on "print scene".
I can overwrite this by pasting the text to MS Word before going online.
Recently, I'm getting tired with the way, especially since I have to do so much, moving from my laptop to PC, giving and taking files from beta-reader, so I tried out Evernote to quickly share the files. I don't know how and I don't remember exactly how I did it, but at first, it worked out pretty well. However, earlier, when I tried it out to publish a chapter (a scene), the same thing happens as I stated previously, or even somewhat worse. Despite my various efforts (which are too much and random to list as of now), nothing works. I'll have to either delete extra paragraphs or enter to split paragraphs, and they're tiring because the length. Sometimes the formatting, such as italic and bold, is gone for some reason as well.
However, it has been going on for a while (from yWriter 5), that when I copy+paste everything to online publication as-is, the line breaks are gone.
It looks like...
This.
When it should be...

However, perhaps since updating to yWriter 5, the text (all but the 'header' containing scene name etc and 'footer' with 'printed, software' stuff) becomes...a table. They're inside a table for some reason. Once again, I can just delete the HTML table codes in HTML mode (in the website I'm publishing it). This works for quite a while.

I'm also honestly annoyed that the centered text becomes not centered upon printing, but it's far better than the problems above. I have no idea what to do. I really love yWriter, but this makes me want to cry, honestly.

Whoops, excuse me, it should be "since updating to yWriter 6", of course.

If you export to ebook the resulting HTML file won't contain the table code.
See if that helps.

But that would means export everything when I only need one scene, right?
