On the Microchip forum the CR/LF does not function

When I type text in a form (like the one I'm typing in now) of the Microchip forum the CR/LF works fine, but disappears when the form has been transferred into the forum.

Chosen solution

On this forum that is because all white-space, including a CR/LF (newline), gets rendered as HTML leaving only one space.
You need to add HTML code if you want to format the text on this forum like <br> for a line break or leave n empty line.
The Microchip forum may work in the same way, so you can check out if there is a help section.

Thanks.
I'm not happy that I have to use HTML code instead of normal typing.
HTML is not a textstyle/language I'm familiar with.
