Hi, Great site, very popular around the world. I am new here and grateful to be here. I have one question:

Is there a way to post in a conventional manner - such that I don't have to add line breaks - and paragraph marks

where the site just accepts my text in a way that other sites do, ie. it basically posts what I wrote with no additional coding needed?

After coding all day, I suppose I would be happy not to code questions about my code...if you know what I mean.

I think I'm getting carpel tunnel syndrome, and yet Microsoft and some sites want to add keystroke upon keystroke and sometimes I ask, "Are all those extra keystrokes necessary?"

Human bodies do wear out after all. Ask around at those who are at the computer all day if extra keystrokes matter or not.

I could be wrong...but I think they do and curse apps that love to add them.

Of course, peace and love all around here...because surely there is a way to avoid the extra keystrokes? How hard would it be to accept text as typed as default but allowing users to choose the Carpel Path if they desire that?

Thanks!

Love,

Leslie
