How do you make a new paragraph when creating an auction with AuctionWatch? I've got a paragraph in one auction that needs some splitting up. When I'm creating an auction, I can hit "enter" a couple of times for a new paragraph, but when the auction is created, it runs it back together.
Any help would be appreciated.

Actually, if you use < p > to make a new paragraph, you have to close the command after the paragraph with a < /p >
I use the < br >

Do I insert the <br> immediately after the period?

Yes.
This is how your paragraph would look:
description blahblahblahblahblahblah.<Br>
New Paragraph blahblahlbahlbhalahalahblah<Br>
You can add extra <br>'s to add some space between paragraphs.

I have always used the <p> symbol at the end of the last sentence in a paragraph, with no other symbols, and ALL my paragraphs come out the way I want them to! No problems at all.

I am taking a class in basic HTML right now, and my professor told us that not closing a HTML command with < /P> may work sometimes, and may not work others. It's kind of wierd. It can mess up other things and make all kinds of problems. For that reason I try to stick to the <br >... Good luck.

Yep, <p> will make a new line in some browsers- or will make a big empty space between lines, in others.
<br> simply gives you a new line. If you want anempty line, use <br><br> I almost have the hang of HTML Now if only PHP were as simple....
