Live view: split a paragraph, all about paragraphs
In the documentation for DW (when you can find it), regarding live view, it states DW will automatically insert paragraph tags when pasting text. Mine does not, no matter if I use CTRL-V or EDIT-PASTE. If I hit enter to start a paragraph in a blank doc to add my content, it inserts 2! Both have non-breaking spaces in them. Handy, having to remove the extra, then the space, then add my text. Making things far slower and complicated.
Then, there's the paragraph splitting, which is the main issue I'd love some help with. If I paste something in that needs to be broken into paragraphs, there's no way to do this that I could find other than manual code edits. In design view, it's place the cursor, hit enter, it splits it (end one, begin a new one). In live view, that same key makes it so you're editing that block/P. No keys I hit from there will split it into 2 as it does in design mode. Tried insert paragraph...it inserts a full pair at the start of the paragraph (or before/after, depending on choice).
Nothing I've tried will do the simple task of breaking the paragraph in two at the cursor. Clearly I've either missed something or this makes live edits fairly useless. Any suggestions? This paragraph split is the more important one. I can't always go to design view to edit content since that really blows things up and it's hard to work that way.
Any suggestions?
