Re: Thousands march on API to "Stop the Frack Attack"

Had to "disable rich text" to get paragraph breaks to show from "filtered HTML" input mode. This displayed HTML code for paragraph breaks that for some reason did not actually display. I removed those codes and returned the input field to plain text with carriage returns for paragraphj breaks, then it formatted correctly

NOTE: You want to do this BEFORE typing anything, otherwise you have to go back and remove control characters!
