Blank lines or \n or some kind of carriage return is not allowed. The first example works, the others don't. I tried adding a carriage return, but who knows, I may be way out on left field with this. It's insane. sdfasd:spacespacespace http://fsdgas.asfs.asfs/ dfgfasg ------- sdfasd:spacespacespace http://fsdgas.asfs.asfs/ dfgfasg ------- Abcdefg abcfder@#$ If there is another solution to doing this, I would definitely prefer it. This is just way to buggy, and I ran out of patience a week ago.
