Hi, there - I'm glad you asked. if you don't put the line breaks in, I try to follow up and straighten up the garbled lyrics. Sometimes, I can't keep up, or I miss some. A line break is about as simple a piece of HTML coding as you can find. It looks exactly like this:

<br>

That's all, just br in angle brackets. Two of 'em, if you want to double-space between stanzas and such. Using the line break symbol twice if much better than using the paragraph <p> tags because the paragraph tags don't copy well if you want to copy the lyrics into another application. Angle brackets set off HTML commands, and everything within angle brackets is invisible (I had to do some fancy stuff to make the angle brackets you see in the example above.
So that's it, just

<br>

at the end of every line, and your lyrics will look peachy-keen. Now, the smart thing to do is to hightlight that line break the first time you type it, and then copy it [ctrl-c]. Then you can paste [ctrl-v] it in at the end of every line without typing all those silly brackets.
then, if you get really lazy (like me, for instance), you can type your lyrics in a word processor and "search" for paragraph markers within your text, and replace them with both a paragraph marker and <br>. Works great.
Once you've mastered that, click here for more pointers on HTML. It's amazing what we can do here. Hope that helps. If you make mistakes or need something fixed, give me a holler (better yet, send me a personal message).
