hello all,

just wondering if there is a formatting option or maybe a plugin that will allow me to format something before i post it? i hope this question makes sense. a friend emailed me something that i wanted to post to my blog. i tried to copy and paste the text into a new post but when i preview it or save it, it's garbled. when i say garbled, what i mean is that it's readable but not formatted very well. one line will look okay but the next line may contain only 2 or 3 words. is there a way to format something like this so it will look better as a post to my blog?

i hope i didn't just confuse everyone.....

thanks!

I think the plugin "nl2br" is interfering for you. You'll either need to disable that plugin, or remove unnecessary linebreaks in your pasted entry, or you install the entryproperties plugin which allows you to disable nl2br for specific posts.

Best regards,
Garvin

i was hoping that i didn't confuse anyone with that post.
