G2G: Can this WikiTree eCard bug be fixed?

+7 votes

A few years ago WikiTree's e-cards could manage a carriage return at the end of a line.  Now all text is on one line with <br> codes.  Can this please be fixed?

For example:

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both"

Comes out as

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,<br>And sorry I could not travel both<br>..."

Thanks and sincerely, Peter

in the example you gave, the second bracket forgot to include the close slant such as </br>

Please send an E-Card with carriage returns to yourself.

What you will receive will not have an empty line between paragraphs.  It is one run of text with </br> </br> where the blank line should be or </br> where the carriage return should be.

I'm sorry for my mistake for writing <br>.

Sorry but I don’t know what an E-card is. 

Have you tried the following br alternative …


:Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
:And sorry I could not travel both


That would work in a profile, N. But an E-card is something different.


Peter, the error wasn't yours — that's how it shows on the ecard.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, <br> <br> And sorry I could not travel both.
