all I can say is

I would get banned instantly if I tried editing the wiki then...
I add way too many spaces.

This is why whizz isn't on the wiki team.

And since no human would normally ever type <br><br>, this is an surprisingly effective method of filtering out spambots.
I used to do so quite frequently when documenting. One <br> to hit a new paragraph, another <br> to have a space between paragraphs before typing again.
Umm.... I guess things have changed since I last played around with HTML then, because when I played around with it, HTML didn't recognize those.
Or are you saying you put the <br> at the end of one line, then hitting enter, then putting another <br>, then hitting enter again? I guess you can do that. It's just a bit more effort for the same effect.
Simply press enter twice, then you will start a new paragraph. Also you could just write <br/> instead of <br>. <br/> is proper code (because each tag needs to be closed and one-tag-tags are closed via this <xxx/> syntax (compare to (what I call) two-tag-tags like <span>xxx</span>)).
You should be using <p> for paragraphs, not <br><br>. Pressing enter twice creates a new paragraph on wikis.
The p tag creates a new paragraph with the proper margin which is what you are looking for.
Ahh, yes. That's what I get for being self-taught over a decade ago.
<.< ... must remember to hide rusty HTML skills, so glad I have a team of incredibly competent people to cover for me on the wiki 
Hehe, I'm also learning during work on the wiki by looking at examples from (mainly) Jinbobo. My knowledge stems from the time, when HTML 4 was fresh and shiny. CSS was never heard of back then.
