Getting poems to display correctly in the blog preview for site visitors
-
Hi all,
I’m trying to set up a blog to share my poetry.I wrote a poem in a post with no problems, but it doesn’t maintain the line breaks for the shortened ‘preview’ form (is there a proper name for this?). This is a problem, because I can’t share it on facebook. A paragraph does not have the same effect as properly set out prose. Help!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Thanks for the tips.
Unfortunately it didn’t help. The poem displays correctly on WordPress, but to share the blog on Facebook, it still comes up as a paragraph of text. Grrr

You’re welcome!
As far as I know you can’t control the format on a Facebook post. Have you tried publishing your poem as a Facebook note? Notes have some formatting options.
