html inconsistenceies

…leaving no breaks between paragraphs
Tried editing every which way, including directly with the html code, but I still get the run-on paragraphs.
Finally I gave up and ended with this:
Editor’s note: we are experiencing technical difficulties with inconsistent html code on WordPress.

The problem is with the two modes of editing posts – the old way and the not so “new and improved” way. Please go back to the old way. Thank you.

Hi there,
If you want to learn how to format and space your posts and pages in a wordpress.COM blog see: http://en.support.wordpress.com/advanced-html/ Specifically see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/advanced-html/#extra-line-breaks
You can also use the pre tag. See here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/can-i-get-rid-of-double-word-spacing?replies=21#post-2512371
If you use the classic editor here Dashboard > Posts > Add New to create your posts what I provide below may be helpful.
In the classic editor, if you are working in the Visual editor, to get single spacing between paragraphs hold the SHIFT key down and simultaneously click ENTER at the end of the paragraph. If you are working in the Text or HTML editor, a single click of ENTER will give you a single-spaced line, and two clicks of ENTER will result in double spaced lines.
Whether or not you are copying and pasting go to > Dashboard > Settings > Writing and enable this setting:
Formatting
__ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically
“save changes”IMPORTANT NOTE: When you create a new post, always make sure the Format tool is set to Paragraph before you start typing. It’s in the Visual editor Row 2 first position “style”. See the illustration here http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-2 If you forget to do that then edit the post, highlight all in the Visual editor, select Paragraph from the Format tool, switch editor to Text then switch back to Visual and click Update.

Timethief, too much of my time has already been robbed with problems in the transition to the old to new format. Another case in point: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/please-restore-the-previous-linking-format?replies=1
Don’t “fix” what wasn’t broken. Bring back the tried and true.

That reversion is not going to happen as you can clearly see here:
