Blank lines in table disappear

    Publishing a directory of church members. Page will be private, but the test is public while asking for help. Phone # and e-mails are hashed.

    Using classic editor.

    Content was created by pasting in contents from an Excel spreadsheet. When editing there is a blank line between each entry. But the line doesn’t show when published.

    When I try to put a non-breaking space on the blank lines, they are erased.

    Here is the code:

    <table width="729">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="404">Name, address, email</td>
<td width="325">Phone</td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>*Anagnostopulos, Mark and *Zinter, Janet</td>
<td>(802) 000-0000</td>
<td></td>
<td></td>

</tr>

    Hi George! I’m not exactly sure how you’re hoping it will look, but if you just want to increase the spacing, you can do that by adding some padding to the table. I formatted it like thisL

    Is that what you’re looking for?

    Thanks, John, but no.
    I’m looking for a blank line between each entry, that is, below the e-mail address. When I look at it in editing mode I see a blank row in the table. But it gets hidden when published.

    Sorry, I see that now. I would strip out all the formatting and then restyle it, but you might try a plug-in called TablePress: https://tablepress.org/ . That would help you preserve your tables the way you want them.
