how do I get extra space?
-
Sometimes I want a footnote, so I’ll put an asterisk, and then at the end of the post, I’ll want several blank lines to separate it from the rest of the text. But WP always takes away all the extra spaces. So, I’ve tried going into the HTML side and putting in several
‘s or <p>’s, and that’s not working, either. They disappear in the final post. Is there a way to make extra blank lines? -
in the HTML editor, at the end of your post, try adding a div… something like this:
<div style="height:[40]px;"></div> <hr> [footnote here]40 is just a suggested value, you could play with it to fit your needs.
Also, and this is just something for you to consider if you want to make your footnotes look “fancy”, instead of an asterisk you could use a number (if you have more than one footnote, that is) and link that number to the footnote. If you’d like to do something like that, in the HTML editor, you’d enter this code:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet ut iaculis iaculis orci <sup><a href="#1">1</a></sup>...Then, at the bottom, where your footnote goes, you’d write this:
<a name="1">1.</a> Footnote One here, blah blah blah.And that would be it. I have an example if you want to check it out.

OK, I tried it and I get a line. I’m assuming that’s the <“div”> part. But I’m typing in all sorts of numbers for the pixels, and it doesn’t change anything. There’s no more space above and below the line no matter what number I type in.
-
The line is the “hr” tag.
It’s interesting that it didn’t work for you…
give this a try, replace the “div” tag I originally gave you with this one:
<div style="display:block;padding:20px;"></div> -
I just tested the above code using MistyLook and it worked… it should work for you too.
Let me know.
-
That’s the code I’m suggesting in the link I gave above (after devblog taught it to me), and it works, provided you remove the brackets around the number.
-
OK, now it just shows the code in the text of the post in tiny letters.
*sigh* This is a pain in the butt.
-
Oh, and I tried the other one and removed the brackets, but it did the same thing, showed up as tiny text.
-
I found something that works by googling “wordpress and blank lines.” I used this: <p> </p>
Works like a charm. -

Argh! Gee, I wish the formatting worked as well with my damn blog as it does in this forum. Sheesh.
I put this between the p’s: &-n-b-s-p-;
