To make line breaks register in your blog post paragraphs on Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Use the <br> tag: In some cases, simply adding <br> where you want the line break to occur will work. This will create a single line break. For example, if you want to add a line break between two sentences, you can type: "This is the first sentence.
    This is the second sentence." The line break will appear in the published post.

  2. Add custom code: If the <br> tag doesn't work as expected, you can try adding custom code to force line breaks. Go to your Webflow CMS Editor, open the blog post you want to edit, and click on the "Custom Code" option. Insert <br> or <br/> to create a line break.

  3. Use the Rich Text Editor: Another option is to use the Webflow Rich Text Editor, which will allow you to add line breaks directly within your blog post content. To use the Rich Text Editor, go to your Webflow CMS, open the blog post you want to edit, and select the text you want to format. Click on the "Normal" dropdown in the toolbar and choose "Heading" or "Paragraph" as appropriate. Then, manually press Enter to create a line break where desired.

  4. Apply custom CSS styles: If you want more control over the line breaks in your blog post paragraphs, you can apply custom CSS styles. You can create a class within Webflow's Designer and apply it to the specific paragraph or text element you want to modify. In the CSS panel, add the following code: white-space: pre-wrap; This will preserve line breaks as you have entered them.

Remember that when making changes to your blog post content, it's important to preview and test your changes before publishing to ensure the line breaks are registering as expected.
