# better html?

 * Hi,
 * I’m havin’ an awful time formatting pages in my blog.
 * 2 issues: skipping a line, essentially inserting an empty line, and keeping inserted
   in-line ‘spaces’ in place. Everything looks OK on the ‘Visual Tab’, but doesn’t
   convert after ‘Preview changes’.
 * I’m not an html xpert, but located this code to skip-a-line, or, insert empty
   line:
 *  
    now it actually did work a couple of times, but then it doesn’t and I’m not
   savvy enuf to detect the reasons why it does or it doesn’t.
 * Is there a better code? What should precede it and/or follow it?
 * Thanx for any help on this,
    Tom Dolan

 * This should get you a hard line feed: ‘<br class=”blank” />’
 * Insert in html mode – it will survive shifting between visual and html mode

 * Saildude,
 * Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, it works like the proverbial charm. And,
 * While you’re on a roll, suggestions for in-line spacing, using space bar, that
   will survive?
 * BTW, if you care to comment: Are these issues a WP 2.9.2 issue or could it be
   a Theme design issue? Just wondering.
 * Thank you so very much,
 * Tom Dolan
