Spacing/formatting

Hi StFrancisThames,
I noticed your comments about not knowing if you were doing the spacing correctly on pages. It looks to me like you were using a few too many break tags. In theory, you shouldn't typically need to use any of those, although there is not harm in using them, as long as the formatting comes out correctly. I've fixed the formatting for you on this page and user:Liberaltears fixed this one, in case you want to see some examples. In this case, adding a break tag to the end of a section marker (for references) was causing the section marker to not be recognized by the wiki software. In the future, I think you will have better luck just adding an empty line before the section heading, and then putting the following content on the lane after that section heading, without using any break tags.
If you want to read up more on how to create and design Wiki pages (although I don't think it covers this specifically in any detail), here is an article might be helpful: Conservapedia:Editing article and talk pages. I know it's a long page, but it might be useful to at least skim through. If you have any other questions or issues, feel free to ask! --DavidB4 ^(TALK) 15:37, 4 April 2020 (EDT)
