if you put the copy and paste thing inside of:

```

[paste]

```

I think it fixes the size of line spaces.

The other option (my preferred option) is to have every line end with two spaces instead of no spaces, but a blank line between paragraphs. The difference is:

That's two spaces. This is the triple backtick method:

Yeah I think that’s an issue with using mobile and apps. I don’t see that key on my keyboard. That’s why I’ve always used the double enter/return key instead.

::: spoiler Purple/blue Oh, I'm sorry, I thought the editors of the New York Times like baseball, but I forgot they're all old money European aristocracy... :::

Zagorath@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 1y (1 reply)

hahaha, as a non-American, I have no idea what the red herring you fell for even was. Even knowing what it's apparently about, I can't see which words would go in it.

::: spoiler Spoilers Gloves (multiple??) and ball are baseball, I guess? Not sure what else. :::

Hoimo@ani.social · 2 pts · 1y

::: spoiler I'm not an American either I went ball-gloves-jackets and guessed that either "blocks" or "foils" could be some jargon I wasn't familiar with. I originally saw "stops" as in "short stop", but I needed that for green. :::

Ahh! I can't believe I didn't get purple properly.

::: spoiler Spoilers Had 3 of them together as "winter wear", and then tossed "foil" in with them as a leftover

And I do fencing. HEMA, these days, but I did modern fencing, primarily foil, for 6 years. :::

::: spoiler Purple/Yellow

  • Purple Didn't even know what foil was, just guessed things that can be used for covering stuff.
  • Yellow Disregarded final as there are multiple finals not one. And then thought of a ball as in celebration at the graduation or something. :::
