How to insert a line break in the About section

When I insert a line break or even two when editing the About section, it does not lead to a blank line.

In terms we used to use in the 80's: it only leads to a Carriage Return (CR), not to a Carriage Return followed by a Line Feed (CR/LF).

How can I force a blank line in the About section?

Hi Peter, adding multiple line breaks in the Space About section does not create a blank line. Please try adding   on its own line between the paragraphs:

This is the first paragraph.

 

This is the second paragraph.

This should create the blank space. Thanks!

Ariful IslamΒ brilliant!

Is there a similar way to add an unsorted list (bullets)? I tried it with ul, li etc, but the inline HTML is ignored.

The About field is currently a plain-text field and does not include a formatted list option. HTML such as <ul> and <li> is not reliably supported in this section.

For a simple bullet list, please use the bullet character directly, with each item on a separate line:

β€’ First item
β€’ Second item
β€’ Third item

Properly formatted or nested lists would require an enhancement to the About section.
