$PAR not working the same for me as before

This forum has a limit to the number of forum postings you can make in a given time period - this is currently set at 10 posting(s) in 1 day

$PAR seems to be only giving me a carriage return in my current problems in 2.7. It seems to be behaving exactly like a $BR.

Is there a particular macro file I need to have loaded so that it actually gives a wider break than $BR?

Thanks!

Paul

This is due to changes in CSS for the user interface that have bled into the problem. I think the issues have been taken care of in v2.8. If you want, you could probably use PGcourse.pl to include

$PAR = "$BR$BR";

for now.

Okay, at least I understand what is happening better now.

Thank you also for the quick patch, Davide!

Thanks for asking this! And for answering!! This is something I noticed too, and didn't really like. I did as Davide suggested, but instead added it to the PGstandard.pl file since we have hundreds of problems that do not load PGcourse.pl.
