== Word Wrap ==

I recently submitted an article on dollshouses and when I added three new paragraphs, the entire block of text changed. Instead of finishing the lines after about 15 words, the lines are now about 25 words long, making the article hard to read. I have tried resubmiting the text and the same thing happened. Does anyone know why this happened and what I could do to solve it?

: Which article do you mean? -- [[User:Finlay McWalter|Finlay McWalter]] | [[User talk:Finlay McWalter | Talk]] 20:15, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

:: the article was called [[Dollhouse]]

::: Mediawiki, the software that runs wikipedia, does something special when a line begins with a space - instead of putting in a space, it goes into a special mode (used for quoting stuff, like poetry or computer software).  That's the mode your example had gotten into.  I've removed the leading spaces, and it now flows properly. -- [[User:Finlay McWalter|Finlay McWalter]] | [[User talk:Finlay McWalter | Talk]] 20:46, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)
