If you want to do line break, you have to insert <br /> at the end of the line.

This is John. He is...
John is someone...
.....

The end.

Users usually have to post something like the above with many line breaks. Inserting <br /> one by one is time-consuming and pretty annoying. I'm not sure why wikia doesn't support line breaks natively.

<pre> ... </pre> is not an option because we need to render other wiki codes.

Is there any faster way to allow/insert massive line breaks?--Comeon 13:04, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

If it isn't installed on your wiki, use the poem extension, which you will need to ask to have activated. (parsing issues for me atm...) --Sky (talk) 14:40, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Edits link under the edit windows can be of use too. You can add anything you want in there. The mediawiki page is MediaWiki:Edittools. You can have an exemple at c:fr.guildwars:MediaWiki:Edittools. But yeah, the poem tag could be usefull too. — TulipVorlax 20:01, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

It's so cool! It's amazing! Poem extension is just what I want. Thanks for the tips about MediaWiki:Edittools too. Thanks a lot for your help.--Comeon 23:20, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Aye, I understand the issue, but it's how MediaWiki was specifically designed. Changing that base design would cause so many issues that it's just scary to even think about :) Glad poem sounds like it'll do your job. Kirkburn  talk  contr    19:26, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
