Hi, I'm new to Drupal & I hope this is the right place to post my question.

My site at http://theasianinvestor.com/ , if you look through the articles, you'll find that the paragraphs are not spaced correctly (There're no breaks between paragraphs).

I've keyed in the paragraphs with the proper spacing but somehow it doesn't get published in the correct format. I've tried the various input format, namely filtered HTML, Full HTML & PHP code, but to no avail.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

You will have to set the page input format to Full HTML to use most HTML codes. Try clearing your cache after you make the change. admin/settings/performance.

BTW, you should not have to use any HTML to space your paragraphs.

I've tried FULL HTML but to no avail. :(

when logged in as Admin, you are the 'Super User' and have all privileges.. but other roles and anonymous users need permission and/or rights to view those formats.

You have to set the roles that are allowed to view the format..

Administer > Site configuration > Input formats
Generally filtered html is the safest one.

select a default, and then
'configure' --check mark the roles that can view it.

you can set role permissions for each format on that same screen

dbeal,

I have checked the roles, everything looks normal to me.

I looked at one article... The < p > tags are there, but they aren't spaced as you say..

possibly look in the 'configure' screen and check that the 'Line break converter' is enabled and then possibly try the 'rearrange' tab and set the filters to a different order.

also when creating the content, be sure to choose the input format below the text box before saving.
It will go to the default format, unless you choose one before saving.
You can keep the existing text, just use the edit tab and then choose the input format and save it.

My filters are in the following order:
URL filter -10
HTML filter -9
Line break converter -8
HTML corrector -7

Settings are found at Site configuration -> Input formats -> Configure -> Rearrange. You can rearrage via drag and drop. Make sure that the order is the same for both Filtered HTML and Full HTML and any other input formats that you have.

If you end up making changes to the order, try getting rid of the < p > tags and see what happens.
