[edit] Text formatting
Normally, text is formatted as a single paragraph. Line breaks may be retained by adding a <br /> at the end of line. Text formatting may also be retained by the use of the <poem> extension; placing text in between <poem> and </poem> will retain line breaks and leading spaces.
