Subject: Prose and Verse -- Help!
From: Paul Stamler
Date: 11 Feb 98 - 01:36 PM

I tried sending a version of "St James' Hospital" to the forum, and somehow all my line breaks disappeared, turning the song into prose. Can anyone suggest how I can avoid this? (Private e-mail is fine to avoid cluttering up the group; I'm at pstamler@aol.com.) I'm using Microsoft Explorer in an AOL account. Thanks!

Peace. Paul

You need a tiny bit of HTML, and Joe Offer has explained it all to us. See his post in this thread. Have fun!

even easier than reading that thread

when you want to break a line, type [br] after the last word using < and > instead of [ and ] (I can't actually type it, or it wont be seen)

highlight the first [br] and copy it (use ctrl c) and then paste it whenever you need it again..(all this does is avoid having to type it each time...a great help if you have a long song)

Paul, I'd highly advise typing song lyrics in a word processor. Most had a search-and-replace function, and you can use it to replace all the new line/new paragraph marks with a paragraph mark and <br> (you probably want to save the song BEFORE you add the HTML <br> break symbols. After that, you copy-and-paste they lyrics into the forum, with the HTML line end tags included.
If you need private lessons, feel free to e-mail me at Joe-Offer@msn.com
