Fix 'Long Text Column' Line Breaks

Interactive-Tables Line-Break Tables

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

The Long Text column in the interactive tables does not satisfy my needs. When I am writing, the line breaks I add into the text box DO NOT SHOW on my world view embed. This is irritating and makes my text one long unorganized sentence that is not user friendly to my players.

BBCode does not work
  The BBCode is just put in like regular text
The paragraph should break regardless of me trying to close it. Even with the paragraph BBCode nothing happens. BBCode is not supported in the Long Text column of the interactive tables and I believe that should be fixed.

Thank you World Anvil team!

    For the BBCode -
    is used alone - it doesn't use the end bracket [/br] which could be why it isn't working properly for you. It should break apart you text for you but I find that some times I need to put two
    to get a distinct break between paragraphs. I haven't played with the paragraph BBCode yet but definitely something to look into!

    Can you not use BBCode to designate the paragraphs?
