Hard and soft returns
I updated Zotero on my PC and the note format changed. A return now registers as a space between paragraphs rather than the next line, i.e. a hard return rather than a soft return. I need to restore the return to a soft return.
shift+return = soft return/linebreak
is standard behavior in software, isn't it?
I had my Zotero set up to do this through a code given by you guys years ago. But the update seems to have changed it...
@dstillman would have to say if that's still customizable.
But, what do mean by "giant gaps"?
1. A line-feed means absolutely no space between lines of text.[shift-return]
2. A paragraph break means a single space between lines of text. [return]
3. Are you seeing more than one line (gap) between lines of text?
4. The first two lines = no space (soft-return, line feed)
5. Between the second and third lines=paragraph break
6. Between the 3rd line and 4th lines=more than a paragraph break.
Years ago I configured Zotero to do this as outlined recently here: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/81895/paragraph-formatting-in-notes#latest
However, with the update everything has reverted and all my original notes where I once had line feeds now have more than a paragraph break. Thus, I would like to restore my original format, as it was before the recent update.
We'll think about adding a way to customize paragraph spacing in the new editor.
If so, then a very strong yes, I would very very much like this option. Thank you!
If possible, please add this feature. The new notes editor seems to have taken a step back in functionality and accessibility.
The poster above had simply used a hidden setting years ago to adjust the paragraph spacing, and that wasn't yet supported in Zotero 6 back in March. We restored support for
extensions.zotero.note.css
back in April.
