Category rules and newlines

Hello, Im updating some of my boards rules and am having a formatting issue.

In the past, I could just press enter and newlines would render properly. Dracula still acts properly: https://www.speedrun.com/bram_stokers_dracula_gb/full_game

You can see in the category rules that new lines are being displayed properly: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/448991972427038731/707341246573576202/unknown.png

But when Im attempting to update Alleyway's game rules: https://www.speedrun.com/alleyway/full_game

Despite writing it the same: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/448991972427038731/707341555546980382/unknown.png They wont render: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/448991972427038731/707341729338097735/unknown.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/448991972427038731/707342492714139718/unknown.png

Anyone know why this is? What happened to my breaks?

Not sure why the rules on Dracula work like that, but putting a space between the "-" and the first word should solve it. Something like that:

  • point 1
  • point 2
  • point 3

The dracula one is untouched. It was made before the game/category rules were separate tabs. So it just seems to 'still' work. I believe editing it would break it (As it did with Alleyway)

Note that added a space after the dash only serves to turn it into an unordered list, which is not quite what I'm looking for: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/448991972427038731/707367914289758260/unknown.png

Okay, I found a way. If you write your rules like this, putting two spaces at the end of each line, that forces a line break. https://i.imgur.com/GyMf64s.png

The result: https://i.imgur.com/B3ZqyE6.png

If you want to add a space between the minus sign and the sentence (to be more readable), you should add a backslash before the minus, and it will become a literal minus sign without being an ordered list: https://i.imgur.com/Izi44fv.png

The trick of the two spaces to force a line break works, but it's not perfect because it's not visible, and so easy to mess up. If anyone knows an alternative to that it would be great.

(By the way, you have a duplicate message)

Thank God!

Thanks so much for the help, both of you. :) I appreciate it a lot.
