Paragraph breaks in profile bios

(I have a feeling this may already be in, but I can't find how to do it...)

I'd like to see a way of separating bio text into paragraphs. For example, mine currently reads: "I'm a lesbian and in a relationship. Happy to chat to other women about life, love, and all the other good stuff. Guys, I appreciate the attention, but I have nothing to offer you so please stop making friend requests."

I'd like it to say: "I'm a lesbian and in a relationship. Happy to chat to other women about life, love, and all the other good stuff.

"Guys, I appreciate the attention, but I have nothing to offer you so please stop making friend requests."

Frankly, I'd like to have more in there, but the lack of paragraphs limits what I can put in and still feel it's legible (and I'm an English teacher and aspiring writer, so I'm hyper-fussy about this sort of thing as it applies to my 'output'!)

I've seen one or two profiles that do have paragraphed text, so I may be missing something, but if not, I'd like to see it added.

Thanks!

I feel your pain!

I think the software automatically strips extra spaces and carriage returns.

There must be a way to insert some sort of character to make paragraphs...

Perhaps a web developer will chime in here...

Well, I figured it out.

You can put a <br> on a blank line to get a carriage return or break.

This works in the Bio section, and I would imagine other places as well...
