A small request for Bungie.next
For the love of peaches can we make it so that I can properly double space after sentences without Bungie.net truncating my double spaces down to a single space? When I was a child, I was taught to double space after every sentence to make it clear where one sentence ended and another sentence began. Archaic though that practice might be, I just see little reason to prevent people from being able to double space if they want to.
I'm not interested in forcing anyone else to change the way they write, I just find that it makes my often incredibly verbose posts a little more readable. I have great faith that the webteam is going to hit Bungie.next out of the ballpark, and out of all the complex features that people have asked for, this seems like an easy one to implement.
Is there anybody else who would want this?

No. Also, they said that it is too late to suggest things now.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Puma Knight How about also being able to indent our paragraphs? It is proper English, after all.[/quote] I would like this.

I think a full stop serves that purpose. Next request!

Testing. Seems to work fine. IDk. Ah, I see. [Edited on 11.30.2012 1:07 AM PST]

Didn't know double-spacing existed on the internet O_O
-
For me, this is an unimportant detail that Bungie doesn't have the time to deal with. On internet a lot of people doesn't give much time to write properly, it would be a waste of time and resources just for a small quantity of people actually using it. That's what I think.

I do the double space also but I've never noticed how it changes it when you post. I just noticed it now since you pointed it out.......Now every time I do it, it will bug me >:/ you bass player.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but doesn't html have an element called [url=http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_pre]
[/url] that preserves just this kind of formatting? I too use double spaces. I am indifferent to paragraph indentation, but it seems like an easy thing to accomplish all of it. It would just display exactly as the user typed it, errors and all. I imagine the current formatting in forum posts does indeed use . Just make it display exactly as typed. Just make all the "
"s into "
"s. It's not like B.net would have to parse whats a sentence and what's not. Just switch out all of the
fields that get populated by user submitted text with
tags instead. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] dazarobbo [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Oddley765 It's to do with HTML formatting and specifications. Double spaces aren't valid HTML. [url=http://stackoverflow.com/questions/433493/why-do-multiple-spaces-in-an-html-file-show-up-as-single-spaces-in-the-browser]link for reference[/url][/quote]Excessive whitespace doesn't invalidate a HTML document, browsers just truncate it down to a single space (ASCII 0x20). That being said, if you wanted double spacing, it would need to be controlled with extra markup, like non-breaking spaces or wrapped sentences (ie. span tags). But then, you run into all sorts of problems. If you use a regex to add in a nbsp, how do you identify it? Is it "\. {2}"? Maybe "\. {2,}\S"? If you try to identify sentences... what [i]is[/i] a sentence? Where do they begin and end? Remember you're dealing with user-generated content here; it's not always going to be correct.

I was taught in elementary school to double space. Then in middle school I was told that was the way of the past. Now I only single space after sentences.

You ever seen a triforce thread on 4chan? That is how they find out who tried to copy and paste it. [Edited on 11.29.2012 8:51 PM PST]

I have read that top paragraph of OP's post before, almost word for word... I do agree with it though, I can make much more ACII art with that. It will certainly take time to get used to though, I normaly always ignore it here and am sure to make several slip-ups in the transition. [Edited on 11.29.2012 8:39 PM PST]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] dazarobbo[/quote]That does it. I am inventing a brand new language that doesn't require punctuation or proper spacing just for this site. I will call it "Bungieisbestese". [Edited on 11.29.2012 8:35 PM PST]

When i first starte out here i always got hung up on not being able to indent paragraphs. I've never been one to double space after a period though.
