Converting single line breaks to double line breaks?

  • When writing posts, is there a plugin to convert single line breaks to double line breaks between paragraphs?

    I’m installing wp for a small newspaper, and since all their posts will already have been written for the print edition (using single line breaks), they probably won’t go to the trouble of manually inserting double line breaks between each paragraph. And it will be oh so ugly.

    (I tried TinyMCE Advanced. It’s a cool plugin but did not resolve this issue.)

    The incomparable Justin Tadlock suggested a dirty fix that was right under my nose the entire time. Just add this to the css:

    .entry br {
	margin-bottom: 20px;
	}

    It should work just fine for now.

    That’s a partial solution.

    If it helps, css margin values are ignored on breaks (br) with most browsers (Safari, Opera, IE); except Firefox.
