Forcing line breaks inside paragraphs

	I've noticed in both of your stories now that you appear to want to structure the paragraphs with line breaks, but it's not working since the wiki markup parser groups everything into plain paragraphs. You can use HTML to fix this; simply stick "<nowiki><br/></nowiki>" at the end of each line where there's supposed to be a line break inside a paragraph. Would you like me to take a stab at doing this for your two existing stories?

			:I just noticed that with Traveller. Go ahead and try with Monkey Business, and I'll use edit to see how it looks in-use. I used a lot of line breaks in Traveller and it's probably best I do it. Thanks --[[User:Boss Hoss\|Boss Hoss]] 00:36, 22 February 2008 (EST)

If you go into the "history" tab and click on the "cur" or "last" links you can see a page indicating what's changed between two versions, here's the one showing what I did: [http://shifti.org/Monkey_Business?title=Monkey_Business&diff=6237&oldid=6229]. You may also notice that I put "nowiki" tags around two of the asterisks. That's because when a line starts with an asterisk, that's wikicode indicating that the line should be part of a bulleted list. The "nowiki" tag overrides that and tells the parser not to do anything special with it. You needn't worry about that detail if you don't want to delve that deeply into wiki markup, I can spot and handle such things without too much ambiguity.

That'll take you to [[User:Boss Hoss1]], which is your own personal canvas to craft a homepage on.
