Subject: [TMG] Carriage Returns
Date: Thu, 1 Apr 2004 07:52:34 -0500


Hi List,

I know this was discussed on this list recently (or perhaps it was only
discussed in my mind <g>), but I cannot recall the solution.

Situation:

In order to make a narrative easier to read I would like to break it up into
logical sections. This I done, using sort dates to have all the religious
tags together, then the education tags, then the employment tags, etc. I
want to separate these topics into separate paragraphs. Since each
individual is different and therefore wouldn't have the same tags, the
carriage return code would not necessarily be in the same tag, i.e. baptism.

I see two options:

1) Add a role to *every* tag with the carriage return codes in the
sentence.

Or

2) Create a custom tag whose sentence would be [:CR:][:CR:], placed before
the tag I want to begin each paragraph.

Option 2 is my preference. Unfortunately, that results in
[space][space][period] after the last sentence in the previous paragraph and
a [space] before the first word in the new paragraph.

Are these my only options? Or is there a way to suppress the extra spaces
and punctuation?

Thanks for any help.
