HTML wrapping problem with web forms

[Dreamkatcha]

Hi,

I'm trying to transfer some of my old web pages to my new blog. Whenever I paste the HTML into the submit post form it all gets broken up so that I have breaks in sentences where there shouldn't be any.

Does anyone know of a way to get it all to flow nicely as it does with my static HTML pages without manually budging everything up?

I've tried a few HTML optimization apps yet they don't do what I'm trying to achieve.

Edit: Oh hang on, I think this Balthisar Tidy thing might do the trick. Hmm, don't need all these other options...

Sometimes these Blog interfaces have an option to ignore newlines in pasted text, or to convert them into HTML line breaks (with <br>). Blogger.com has a checkbox for this, if I can still recall.

Thanks for the reply. The way Blogger works is that hard returns are converted to break tags by default, but you do have the option to disable this and make your own paragraphs or breaks using HTML.

I disabled the feature and still had the same problems, though managed to solve it in the end using 'TidyService' which can be used to eliminate the wrapping in HTML docs before pasting them into web forms. I was tearing my hair out for a while there. I'll see if the Blogger people will add this issue to their FAQs so other people can benefit from it.

Great! Glad you figured it out.
