could we get it so that line breaks with paragraph tags are treated as if they have their own paragraph tags? like the following:



currently displays like this:



but it'd be nice if it displayed like this:



this isn't a big deal with a short example like that, but when you're dealing with massive walls of text, having paragraph tags is a huge boost to readability and if you're doing stories or something like in the M:EM it can be super tedious to mark out, say, each line of dialogue with its own tag. if you could just wrap the whole story in tags and be good that'd be amazing.

Discounting the amount of work it would be to re-format essentially the entire M:EM archive, that would make things easier.

I mean, the piles-of-paragraph-tags thing would still work. you'd just have a better option going forward.

Compared

to using

the paragraph one

I see.

ok yeah.

Oh, right, you only want it to indent at the beginning. I forgot people even do that.
Isn't that a physical formatting thing, not something you do on the internet?

not on forums usually, but it can be a huge boost in readability for like stories and ****. I finally got around to requesting this 'cause I went to go read a story in the M:EM and just couldn't even process it because of the visual fatigue of the wall of text.

It's a formatting thing for most literature. It's not necessary for regular internet communication, but it lends a sense of legitimacy and implies a bit of pride in your work if you use it. This is especially true when you're trying to make a long-form story for people to read over the internet.

It's only slightly less important than punctuation and capitalization; sure you can get away with it if you put the care into making yourself understood, but it is 100 times easier to understand you if you do use them.


Which story specifically? If it's something in the Archives, I can fix it if you point me in the right direction.

no, it was Aaargh's new one. I was gonna ask if they'd mind paragraphing it for readability and then I remembered how much of a pain in the ass that was to do when I did it for mine so I came here to ask for it to be easier instead.

When editing posts pressing Ctrl+Z doesn't undo any tags you applied to your post. Or, to phrase that as a feature request, Could we please get a feature that made it so that Ctrl+Z'ing your post undid the tags you just typed in?

Also, when typing in a name for a topic, it displays a list of previous topic names you've used with the same beginning. But, it doesn't list them in any discernable order. It's getting hard to tell which numbered instalment of TPcardsW I'm on now that I have 20-something of them. Also, I already phrased the last one as a request so you're just going to have to reverse engineer this request from my statements. Can't expect me to do everything.

I'm 90% sure the second one of those is tied to your internet browser, and not part of the website.

I'm not quite as sure about the first one, though I think it is also part of the browser. I'm also moderately certain my Ctrl+Z does undo tags... Unless you're talking about using the buttons. Because I almost always type my tags out. Let's try it out right now, actually.

...

Okay, I'm guessing you mean the buttons, then.

Dear Welder, please de-ghost the forums. I have seen a ghost recently at it was scary. K thnx

are soundcloud embeddings difficult? they'd be nice, like the youtube ones, but not the end of the world if not doable.

Sure, that's easy enough.

Example using a song from some chump:

NO ONE LISTEN TO THAT

Could we put up a link to the latest NGA cockatrice plugin somewhere on the NGA card search page? I'd like it to have a steady link and I figure we must have at least a few curious folk looking through the search feature wondering how to get in on this magicalness.

Oh that's actually a really good idea. Done!
