Roy, You need 2 periods as Marlene said. A single period simply says "start a new line here", the CIS editor starts a new line, but then wraps the text from the following line so you lose your blank line. You can force a blank line by having a period (and nothing else) on 1 line, and then starting the next line with a period. That says, "Start a new line here, now start another new line and add the following text to that line. <—–There was a period here in the first column and nothing else. The line with the arrow was the next line down. As you can see, it didn't add a new line, only forced my '<' to be wrapped up to that point. <—–there was a period above and this line also started with a period. As you can see, it created a blank line. ^—–Also, a tab works, as there was a tab here. Don

Place a period in the first column then hit return. That forces a new line. But, you must start the next line with a period in the first column also (your text starting in column 2), because if you don't, the formatter will wrap the second line up to the first.
