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

When you press enter in these text boxes it goes to a new paragraph. When you go to check your preview its all one paragraph. You have to mark it as a new paragraph.

Another issue is when doing text alerations such as bold, italic, or underline. It has to be in these boxes as well.

 

How does this feature request address the current situation?

It would make it so that when you press enter they sytem would know that its a new paragraph. or at the very least make it so that people can chose between typewriter and code scource. This will make the writing proccess more stream lined. It also not as if Word or Google have a copyright not being able to use standered text engine. It is understandable if the programers have to invent their own code for how to achive the same function.  

What are other uses for this feature request?

Streamlines the writing proccess. I really cannot think of any other use than that.

The Team's Response

Just as a clarification and actual EMPTY line will create what is perceived by the OP as a paragraph

    " It also not as if Word or Google have a copyright not being able to use standered text engine. It is understandable if the programers have to invent their own code for how to achive the same function."   This is very rude to be honest.   For others: I believe what OP is suggesting is that when you're creating/editing an article, just pressing "enter" does not do a line break (I'm not sure if this is true 100% of the time tbh?) and when italisizing/bolding/etc words, instead of just making them italic/bolded/etc in the editing document, it shows the brackets with the i, b, etc between them.

    Now, I am not downvoting because I am against this, I am downvoting because I have absolutely no idea what this is supposed to be. Maybe next time try to be a bit more clear as to what you mean.

    If I understand this correctly it's about making the editor a truly WYSIWYG experience which I 100% agree with. I can't fathom why it shows some code like
    or [url] but not others. Either show me all the code or none. I spend more time switching between editing and code view to fix little issues or saving and previewing then tweaking to get it so it actually looks like I want and not what's in the editor then I do writing, ugh.

    I wish you had provided a discussion link, because I really can't make out what you mean. Some guesses: 1) empty line looks like a paragraph break in the editor but become <br> tags within a single <p> in the code. 2) The WYSIWYG editor has issues where what you see in it isn't what you get in the end. Or maybe 3) the functionality you're looking for exists in the form of a different editor within WA?

    I'm a bit confused here what exactly you want. Have you tried pressing enter twice? That suffices for me, and sometimes I only want a single enter for being overviewable (and using
    ) without an entirely new paragraph.
