When you put a a carriage return in, there are no characters on that line. If you put a space on that blank line, or a . or any character the system will interpret it as a blank line. If you just leave it without any characters on it, the system will chew up the blank line and not output it correctly.
You'll find this in a lot of places on the web. The most visually obvious way to overcome this is to put a period as the first character of any blank line, i.e.:
.
second line after CR/period.
.
and again. now looks what happens when I CR but no period or no character
on that line?
this should be a new line but it won't be interpreted because the blank line
above does not have any characters on it. If I would of simply entered a space it would of interepted it.
Just like that one now.
Do you get what I'm trying to say?
