Thanks for the links Tomek. While I don't understand the wiki logic, I am not going to "fight" it. It is not a value add for me to keep 2 lists(1 single-spaced and 1 double-spaced) just to conform to the wiki rules. However, if I un-select ... [ ] Allow block-markup in timeline why would the default logic be to drop CRLF's? Pasting multi-line comments seems so simple, yet quite frustrating.
Thanks for the info.
