Empty tag <br> issue?

  • @mattpeckham

    I’m stupid, just say it. Though ‘br’ lists as a tag in my allowed markup (as here), entering it to force spaces after blockquotes, which force the next line following up, does nothing.

    Any ideas?

    I actually have the same problem; <br> doesn’t work, it just shows up in the post as-is.

    Try <br />

    Ah ok that worked, duh.

    That works, except for one issue – blockquotes. I was trying to use it (inappropriately, it seems) to force a space after a blockquote. Here’s what’s happening:

    Test post

    Text bumped right up against blockquote.

    Okay, shoot – blockquote isn’t defined here, so I can’t show you what’s happened. Try here:

    …bottom third of that first post, right after the blockquote.

    No matter how many spaces I place after the blockquote end tag, or instances of the br tag, it stays flush.

    Okay, fixed it by putting:

    margin-bottom: 1em;

    …in the CSS. :)

    I wonder if someone smarter than me could write a plugin for Markdown or Textile? That would beat these tags by a mile.

    I might do it sometime, but for now I’d say just use the Comment Quicktags – press a button and the code is inserted, if your problem is remembering the codes.
