I know there’s probably a good technical or historical explanation, but it’s very irritating to copy/paste text into Lemmy to have it looking like poo after posting. Is there an Android editor that will add double spaces to ends of lines so it’s wysiwyg? Bonus if it will also insert "> " at the beginning of lines for quoting selected blocks of text. Maybe this can be done with a JavaScript webpage?

    That’s an entirely different issue. I think what you’re talking about is just a shortcut for typing quickly. Even then a double space is replaced with a period and single space.

    I’m talking about two paragraphs with two linefeeds in between will be displayed as a single paragraph unless there are two spaces before the linefeeds.

      Two linefeeds will separate two paragraphs.

      Two spaces are needed before a linefeed
      to keep them in one paragraph.
      Like this.

        Yeah, had a brain fart. I mean your second case. This seems trivial when typing short comments as you’ve done, but it’s incredible tedious when copying and pasting long lists and articles.
