Kat,

The formats the code in a sensible way. Paragraphs are any number of lines back to back. If you want to start a new paragraph, leave a blank line between two lines. You can also force a line break if you want by using \\ at the end of it. This is done because many people have different ideas of how a message should be formatted, for instance, if the forum just took how the user entered it, you could have messages formatted like this:

Hello World, how
are you doing?
I hope you
can read
this OK. I
hit enter
way too often
and this paragraph
is way too narrow
for everyone
with a
modern monitor.

Now, if you are putting in, say commands and you want to keep your exact formatting, you can use the {{{ ... }}} formatting, for instance:

$ exu /opt/euphoria/lines.ex 
lines  nb-lines  nb-nc-lines  chars 
   14       9          5        291   common.e 
    6       5          5         95   config.e 
  148     125        124       3370   format.e 
   10       7          6        136   forum.ex 
  232     185        162       4655   forumdb.e 
  410     331        302       8547   total 

So, that is for preformatted blocks of text. It may take a bit of getting use to but it's pretty nice once you get the hang of it. I will soon be adding a preview button which will help out.
