Sometimes you want to write something with broken lines and you write in the editor:
That’s right I’m Sokka
It’s pronounced with an Okka
Young Ladies, I rocked ya!
But it ends up looking like this:
That’s right I’m Sokka It’s pronounced with an Okka Young Ladies, I rocked ya!
The fix is to add two spaces between the final character and the carriage return.
I don’t understand what the problem is. CR should be easy enough to translate, and the users intentions are clearly confirmed because they’re looking right at what the expect it to look like when they hit submit.
Why does the user have to add two spaces? Why is the universe like this?
Edit: Holy Shit, look, I’m just an idiot typing text expecting WYSIWYG and I don’t see a good reason for why I’m not getting it other than that programmers lack theory of mind.
Yeah, I actually kind of low-key hate reddit’s WYSIWIG editor because I do already know most of the markdown shortcuts and it’s faster (and I think there was a time when you couldn’t even use Ctrl-B for bold but has to grab your mouse). But you can teach yourself the formatting marks by hitting the button and seeing which characters get added, * for italics (aka emphasis) ~~ for strikethrough etc… the line break thing is completely opaque.
