Full Version: Separating Your Signature From Your Post

To put in a line break between your posts and your signature put this code in just before anything else in the signature.

code:
<p></p>


That will insert a blank line.

Be sure HTML is enabled.

Harvey,

Wouldn't that only apply to people who haven't placed a signature in their signauture field, as set up under "My Controls" or in the posting window?

For instance, my signature in this post, is automatically separated from the body copy, with no extra steps.

code:
<BR>
will also work, saving you 3 whole keystrokes and a whole bunch of electrons from being needlessly sent to their graves.

If I remember correctly, 'br' will only put in 2/3 the space of 'p'.

'br' is a standard line break, 'p' is new paragraph which introduces extra space.

A line-break is a line-break in HTML coding. And, according to the W3 organization, THE organizational body of HTML specifications:

quote:
We discourage authors from using empty P elements. User agents should ignore empty P elements.

9.3.2 Controlling line breaks

A line break is defined to be a carriage return ( ), a line feed ( ), or a carriage return/line feed pair. All line breaks constitute white space.


The white space line-break is dependent only on the current font.

I sit corrected. The code that will work in every instance is:
code:
<p>&nbsp;</p>


It does give a larger space.

... and two BRs
code:
<BR><BR>

will give more space than one paragraph.
code:
<P>&nbsp;</p>

and save you 5 keystrokes!

And what are you going to do with those keystrokes you saved? :O)

You are correct.

{Wierd thing happened on my way to reply. I thought I typed a capitol 'I' and jumped to settings or something, back did not work. Maybe I hit ctrl-I or ctrl-shift-I.}
