I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but why we can no longer make a soft break (Shift+Enter) in Flare? We could before, but now I get the <empty> message and in the text editor it shows the <br/>, which is correct, but we can't do a soft line break in the XML editor. Even if I manually enter the <br/> in the text editor I still get the <empty> message in the XML editor and have to remove it.
I really need to be able to do Soft Breaks, for both Screen Text and Tables.
We did just do a new stylesheet from scratch and we're using the print medium and I don't know if it has something to do with that or if it's something else.
Is there a setting or something in the css we're missing and if so, how do we resolve this?
Using Flare 2023 R2
Thank you!

Creating a soft line break in Flare?
Re: Creating a soft line break in Flare?
Hi, from my point of view I would not make line breaks. Better creating other methods such as paragraph styles.
Re: Creating a soft line break in Flare?
Could you perhaps have the "Show Tags" button turned on and one of the settings causes the br to show as <empty>? Something to check, anyway.

Re: Creating a soft line break in Flare?
Thank you both - I will tell the author to give it a try.
She needs to use soft breaks, not P Tags due the spacing - this is for screen text input/output, so she doesn't want the large space in between lines, but for regular content the spacing must remain as is with regular P tags.
Thank you!

Re: Creating a soft line break in Flare?
I suggest you add a p class to your stylesheet that she can use for screen input, and have the space between lines be as you need it for that class, rather than using Shift-Return to insert linefeeds.lbon42 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 6:55 am Thank you both - I will tell the author to give it a try.
