New to this business, have some questions.
Submitted by Nightcaste on Tue, 2007-10-09 21:35.
A friend of mine has recruited me to help administer his MUSH, and part of what I have been asked to do is to convert a stack of text files he sent me into News files for the MUSH.
My first question is this: How do I preserve whitespace? There are quotes and paragraphs that are indented, and I have a feeling if I just slap them in as-is, it will be one continuous run-on block of text.
My second question: How do I enter a line-break? Same reasons as above.
My third question: Are there any good "teach yourself to code" kind of things out there for this kind of stuff?
Thanks guys!!

Some answers
If you're making them into news files, it's not like html. Whitespace is preserved, so you just indent (with spaces, not tabs), and put in blank lines as natural for a text file.
For the teaching self to code bit, maybe visit M*U*S*H and look at +links ?
