Carol, Dennis answered the part about carriage returns. As for my web site, I currently have two.

I have the old site, generated using Legacy, in which the blank lines are not a problem. The events look just like they do in reports. I plan to phase this site this eventually, however. Here is an example of one ancestor's page:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~nestorgenealogy/345.html

My new web site is generated via an outside company called TNG. In this case, though, you still won't see the yucky blank lines because Brian has already kindly zapped them via Access so that the formatting now looks good. Here is that same ancestor's page in the new site:
http://www.roots2buds.net/getperson.php?personID=I345&tree=nestor

I highly recommend using the carriage return formatting in Legacy instead of inserting a blank line. Then you will not have a problem on web pages either way.

By the way, I love the new web site because it functions very much like a database. However, the primary drawbacks (as I see them) are that I lose my event sentences and my short location names. I am still planning a lot of customization, but see what you think.

Gail,

I am just getting started with Legacy and have been entering a blank line at
the beginning of my event notes as recommended by the training CDs. I see
that you are unhappy with the result, and  I don't want to get in the
position that you are in now with over 19,000 events to edit.

Could you provide a link to your website so that I can see the problem that
this is causing?

And this is probably a really stupid question, but could you tell me how you
insert a carriage return in the event definition?

Thanks so much,

Carol
