raze hopes this works so i can write paragraphs.
and i can write like this.
little lines.
but paragraph breaks won't work,
even on an existing blathe.
poo. 		210730
...
raze hopes this works didn't mean to make two test pages. double poo. 210730
...
raze hopes this works so one paragraph break is allowed.

like so.
but no more? 		210730
...
raze hopes this works try more.

try two.

like this. 		210730
...
raze hopes this works why did you work here
but not there?

why do i have skin
but no hair?

what is the meaning
of spring cleaning?

why are there potted plants
on the ceiling? 		210730
...
raze hopes this works let's try paragraphs. typing. saying things. meaty things. i can get away with small blocks sometimes, but not always. i can fish for fish that don't know the meaning of a wish, but not on sundays.

line two. fine coo. this is small.

can i type freely? can i be what all the oyster-shaped conundrums wanted me to be when they were but minuscule dilemmas swimming in tender pools of longing? 		210730
...
raze hopes this works so a certain amount of line breaks work. but not too many. curious. 210730

raze hopes this works i can do that, and yet if i try to type something here that's sixteen lines, it won't go through. 210730
...
raze hopes this works but if i tried to type something that was made up of four four-line paragraphs, it would probably work. maybe. let's find out together. here is a paragraph. it has things in it.

here is a second paragraph. it's flaunting its stuff. look at it flaunt. it's got sunglasses and piercings in all the right places and two-tone hair and stuff.

here is a third paragraph. it's haunted by decisions it made in simpler times, and the forced rhymes of yestersmear. that's when a year gets all blurry and stuff.

here is a fourth paragraph. it doesn't know what it is. it lives a life of pale seclusion. it sifts through the sand of its past and wonders if sunburn is just someone else's dream. 		210730
...
raze hopes this goes through (if anyone ever comes across this blathe and testy_mctesterson and wonders if i lost my mind, this is all an outgrowth of some odd technical hiccups. earlier today it wasn't possible to blathe much of anything. only certain existing blathes would allow words to pass. now blathing seems doable in a more general sense, but poetry-shaped things with lots of line breaks cause server errors. if only i had a serving bowl. i'd trap that crab and teach it how to yodel, i would.) 210730
...
raze i can't get anything that's in "poem" form, with plentiful line breaks, to work as a standalone thing at all now. but i wonder, if i place it between two more conventional paragraphs, will it survive?

here are some lines
to see how many i will be allowed
an attempt to work within
the limitations of the moment
whatever they may be
knowing now that sixteen lines are too many
but wondering if maybe twelve won't be
and wondering too
how many licks it takes
to get to the heart
of an icicle out of season

and here is another brief paragraph with periods and stuff. doest thou worketh now? 		210730
...

...
raze hopes this works this is so strange. i can do that, but i can't break no_rain into stanzas the way i intended to. so some things work now, and some things don't. 210730
...
raze hopes this works this is a test
to see if line breaks
will work over here
or if things are still wonky
when it comes to saying anything
in this sort of poetic form
with many line breaks
to create points of emphasis
and to attempt to ascertain
just where the threshold is now
and how many lines are allowed
before something becomes
unblatheable
or should it be unblathable?

it's never easy to know
how to spell a word
that might not even be a word
it's like calling out the name
of a person you haven't met yet
and expecting them to answer 		210730
...
raze hopes this works (that worked both on blue and over here. and it has more lines and more words to it than what i wanted to do with no_rain. and yet THOSE words in that arrangement still won't work here or anywhere else. the saga continues.) 210730

nr this has probably been determined long ago, buuut... do italics work? 231202
...
okay then nope, they do not. 231202
...
raze you know, i've wondered for a while if there was a way to make them work using one of those in-browser text transformer things that lets you flip your words upside_down and stuff like that, but i've been reluctant to try for some reason. i'm not sure what's stopped me when the worst thing that could happen is garbled flarf.

come to think of it, that should be my codename when i'm conducting clandestine business operations. not that i ever do. but it's got a ring to it. garbled flarf. 		231202

raze AND SOMA WITH THE ASSIST FOR THE WIN. 231203
...
Soma I mean, the downside of using any of these characters as "italics" is that it won't create links. Unless you're intentionally trying to de-link everything in blather and be a big secret. then it might not be a downside. hehe. 231203
...
Soma also confirming, you can't make the special character words into links. I tried and it asked me "what kind of word is that?" Nice one. 231203
...
raze i'm probably going to stick with putting stars around words for emphasis, just because i'm pretty set in my ways by now, and i like keeping the spirit of linkage alive. but it's always neat to know things like this actually work (when they do). 231203
