Espen R	Thursday 08 November 2007 7:12:26 am I want to be able to use serveral line breaks in a row. The html should be output like this: ---------- <p> some text<br /> <br /> <br /> some more text </p> -------- Currently the OE strips it down to one <br />. Please guide me in the right direction. OE 4.2.3 - eZ 3.9.2
Mark Marsiglio	Thursday 08 November 2007 7:49:33 am This is disabled by default because it interferes with the concept of separation of content and presentation. You can re-enable the ability to add multiple consecutive line breaks by overriding the AllowEmpty setting in content.ini. Put this is in the content.ini.append.php file for your user and admin siteaccesses. [paragraph] AllowEmpty=true http://www.thinkcreative.com Turning Ideas Into Strategic Solutions

Espen R	Monday 12 November 2007 6:44:52 am Thanks a lot Mark. I still don't think this will allow me to make several <br /> in a row. At least OE still wouldn't let me. It did however allow empty paragraphs, and if that's the only available option then I guess we'll have to live with that. :-\
Pascal France	Thursday 22 November 2007 7:42:43 pm Hi, I've tested the AllowEmpty=true option in content.ini.append.php (in both user and admin siteaccess) and the result is not the one we could expect: In the preview admin interface I get this source code: <p>Text of my paragraph</p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p>Pascal</p> But in the page of the public site I get this source code: <p>Text of my paragraph</p> <p/> <p/> <p/> <p> Pascal </p> So there are no break line and the result is like if I hadn't turn on the AllowEmpty option. Did I miss something else ? (I use ez 3.9.4 and OE 4.2.4) Pascal Ce qui embellit le désert c'est qu'il cache un puits... quelque part... (A. de Saint-Exupéry) - http://luxpopuli.fr/eZ-Publish
Espen R	Friday 23 November 2007 2:17:21 am I guess it's correct to say that the <i>paragraphs</i> are empty. These would normally be stripped away without the AllowEmpty attribute set to true. An empty paragraph is not the best solution in my opinion because a <br> would normally give a spacing of one line height while the paragraph would give some more, often a double line height. This results in less control for the user. While I agree that most of the time this kind of layout manipulation should be avoided, it is sometimes a demand from the client that can't be denied them.
