Subject: Line Breaks in lyrics posts - please
Well, Clinton - Max has ColdFusion (the software that drives Mudcat) set to read double carriage returns, but not single ones. Setting the Forum to accept carriage returns as line breaks causes problems with HTML-rich posts because the complexity of these posts makes it hard to predict results. A carriage return in the middle of a link makes a real mess. The problems aren't insurmountable, but they are cumbersome - and correcting them can involve a lot of tedious work for Joe and the JoeClones. So, we'll continue to play with it until we're comfortable with it, and until we've been able to figure out solutions to most of the problems. In the meantime, please continue to put <br> line breaks at the end of every line when you post lyrics. Thanks. -Joe Offer-
