Does anyone know of a tag that will allow for posting of HTML source into an HTML enabled board without carriage returns being inserted into the end result by wwwthreads?
Here is an example:
1. User publishes a poem she has written on her personal web site.
2. User wishes to post the poem she has written to an HTML enabled wwwthreads board.
3. User opens her poem from her web site, views its source, and copies the raw HTML to her clipboard.
4. User pastes the raw HTML code for her poem into a wwwthreads post and posts it.
5. Here is what the user had on her web site:
--------------------------
Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
I won't think up better words
because it's only you.
--------------------------
6. Here is what she ends up with on wwwthreads:
--------------------------
Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
I won't think up better words
because it's only you.
--------------------------
Notice the spacing difference between the two sections. It seems that, HTML does not interpret untagged line breaks, as actual line breaks. Unfortunately, when the raw text is posted into wwwthreads, wwwthreads inserts a CR at every line break, whether tagged or not.
This becomes a serious problem, when people are trying to post news articles, for example, and the spacing gets thrown out of whack, not to mention line wrapping. The {pre} tags don't really work, as they result in even stranger looking layout and fonts.
Does anyone have any idea how a user can post raw HTML into wwwthreads and retain the original HTML look without things like carriage returns being added? This question may have already been asked, so I apologize in advance if I am repeating something that has already been hashed out.
