    I’m sorry to have to revisit this topic again. However, I tried the suggested given for creating blank lines.
    The one that worked most recently was <p> </P> … my point is “most recently” Last week I able to use

    to get blank lines. I have two issues:
    1. from day to day a fix seems to work or not work.
    2. wordpress seems to strip the code after I do a save.

    Am I missing something? This issue alone creates hours of wasted time. If someone could help, it would truly
    be appreciated.

    my examples were lost, ‘<p> ></p>’ worked most recently…


    ‘ seemed to have worked last week

    One stable solution is invisible text:
    <div style="visibility:hidden;">ANY_CHARACTERS_HERE</div>
    You can make it adjustable by adding a height command as well, e.g.:
    <div style="visibility:hidden;height:2.2em;">ANY_CHARACTERS_HERE</div>

    Another stable (also adjustable) solution is padding above or below a section, e.g.:
    <div style="padding-top:1.4em;">TEXT_HERE</div>
    <div style="padding-bottom:.8em;">TEXT_HERE</div>

    So inserting blank line(s) using <p>&nbsp;</p> simply doesn’t work anymore?
    Great workaround, Panaghiotisadam — bookmarked and saved!

    @babaliciou5: Thanks. The p solutions are not dependable: once the simple p-p used to work, then it wouldn’t and the p-nbsp-p would, then the other way round, or the same code would work in one computer but not in another… Then devblog came up with a different idea; then Tess found out devblog’s solutions got stripped out if you switched to visual and back to html… Couple of days ago another member suggested br-class-blank… So I’m fed up, and I’m using the solutions I suggested above.

    Panos,
    This looks as though it will work. Thanks.
    I’ve been resorting to the “.” colored white option which is clunky.

    Clunky, perhaps, but it’s foolproof and seems to be the path of least resistence.
