Help with line breaks

[MidbossMan]

Hey guys- I'm having a little trouble getting line breaks to work a certain way. When you hit enter normally, you start a new paragraph and thus get a blank space between your new and previous. When I instead hit either SHIFT + Enter, I seemingly get what I want: a paragraph that starts with no extended space between the last one. However, when I hit to submit the edit, it goes back to being a full line break, like the one between this paragraph and the next one down.

Nobody needs to worry that I'm planning a whole chapter clumped together this way. It's just for a specific formatting thing I'm doing to try to match something else I see for a brief segment in a story.

Anybody have any tips?

Sidebar: if anyone knows why my underlines are vanishing when I hit submit chapter, that would be useful too... if it helps, they're part of an all italics block quote.

Are you using rich text editor, or are you using Markdown manually?
In Markdown, I believe hitting ENTER only gives you a basic newline, and not a paragraph break, which is as large as two newlines. This way, you can manually use both newlines and breaks depending on how many times you hit ENTER.

I'm still toggled on to use rich text editor. I'll try turning that off and working with it. Thanks

I just tried Shift-Enter with RTE and it works for me.

Though with Markdown you'll usually get more reliable results as it is the format, the content is saved in the database.

Blockquotes should already give you italics, so you only have to add the underline option. (Maybe RTE mixes up the option as it uses "_" for italics.)
