I understand why we can't use direct html, but the site's format seems to arbitrarily decide to double-space paragraph wrap lists (ordered or otherwise) without rhyme or reason even if one uses a soft-return / shift enter. Sometimes it maintains tight spacing. Sometimes it forces double. Sometimes it decides later on to make a tight spacing entry into a double after a later edit for no apparent reason because, if one disables the rte then the formatting is visually identical. This is deeply frustrating, but I can't find any existing discussions regarding this issue. Is there some well known and reliable work around I don't know? And why isn't there a remove formatting button when posting a chapter?
If RTE is activated, the WYSIWYG content will be converted into Markdown. Some things might not be quite reliable, depending on how things are done. (E.g. formatting overlapping parts of text might result in weird behavior.) The content is always stored in the database in Markdown syntax. If you deactivate RTE, you can write in plain Markdown. Then, the content will be stored without any conversion. Later, the Markdown syntax is interpreted. In my experience, this is quite reliable. (Though you have to add the formatting directly into the content.) Note: Do not activate/deactivate RTE while you have an Edit Chapter page opened. Saving a chapter with the wrong formatting might lead to the loss of information.
