Let's try this again... in Site Updates

My fingers are crossed, because the last time I tried adding some Markdown extensions, Prosebox started barfing on really long entries. If you see that behavior, please let me know.
I added an extension so that you can easily create line breaks without having to do anything more than hit Enter. (no double space at the end of the line)
It's the one thing about Markdown that is not very intuitive... so here's hoping that works and is a permanent feature.

Thank you. Having double space was a bit annoying. I wil check it out shortly.

'preciate all the hard work and dedication!

Thank goodness. THAT drove me crazy.

These bits do matter to some of us and I'm grateful they matter to you too. I especially like that you tell us about them, making it more important than ever to have you bookmarked!

What does this mean? That newlines are now interpreted as line breaks?!? Now I have to make sure that paragraphs are all one line? Argh. This fundamentally violates HTML. Or does it happen only in some special Markdown Mode? Markdown is more of a nuisance than anything else-- I've been bit by it several times in different ways, and I know others who have been as well. (I admit I do like using the "less than" to do little blockquotes in notes, though.) But really, Markdown and HTML together are problematic, aren't they?

I haven't tested it out, but in theory anything inside HTML tags isn't interpreted as Markdown. So if you already enclose everything with tags, it shouldn't make a difference.

Ah, that's good to know. So if I start using both opening and closing P tags around chunks of text (or possibly around my entire entry, or possibly only the opening P tags) I should be safe from Markdown. That's easily enough done. (Remember, I'm the guy who uses vim to write entries.)
Oops, In my note, "less than" should be "greater than"

Yep, that's right (I did a test with a single line break inside
ptags and it was completely ignored, as should be the case for HTML.Deleted user simple mind ⋅ May 09, 2014
One problem I've found is that if you have a long HTML tag that's broken across lines, the new extension inserts a <br> inside the other tag, breaking it. For example, typing
<img src = "bla bla bla" style = "width: 350px">
doesn't work anymore.

Unfortunately, the cut-and-paste code from Photobucket has multiple lines, so anyone who uses that code will have broken images now.

Thanks for catching this. I reverted it back, since I don't really have control over the extensions (and obviously the implementation is bad).

I don't understand these languages. I understand my pages are broken. I only want to know if it is fixable or if over 100 pages are going to show code I don't want seen. SM, any answer? Maybe you didn't see my previous note regarding this.
simple mind LivingWaterCreek ⋅ May 11, 2014
Fixed now, hopefully.

Oh thank you! I was htmling which feels just so weird (but mildly reminiscent of the other place)

THANK YOUUUUUUU.

I always double space. Does this mean I now have a line break instead of breathing room?
simple mind MageB ⋅ May 11, 2014
By double space, I'm talking about adding two spaces at the end of a line for a single line break (not double spacing the lines).
