Launchpad itself

Text formatting in my profile isn't working as described.

Asked by tallship

In the "Homepage Content" section of the "Change your personal details" page (change details) of my profile, it says:

"The content of your profile page. Use plain text, paragraphs are preserved and URLs are linked in pages."

When I click the "Save Changes" button, the text isn't correctly formatted, and runs on along a single line to the end of the page and then wraps onto the next line.

What is the correct way to format the text so it displays correctly, as I want it to appear? i.e., wiki text, html, bbcode, etc.?

Thanks.

As a disincentive for abuse, only users who have made contributions are allowed to have formatting on their home page. This is rechecked every day, and it appears your profile is now correctly formatted.

That indeed explains it, and it all seems to be corrected now :)
