Code:
                        usr<<{"<b>Mission Leader: <i>"Points are awarded for:</b>
                        <ul>
                        <li>* Being ready for the mission</li>
                        <li>* Damaging the enemies</li>
                        <li>* Knocking Out the enemies</li>
                        <li>* Killing the enemies</li>
                        <li>* Speed</li>
                        </ul><br>
                        <b>Note:</b> You will lose points for <i>Finishing</i>, Killing</i> and <i>KO'ing allies</i>.
                        "}


Problem description:
I have this in a verb attacked to a mob.
My issue is that when it gets sent to the output, it has

very


overly dramatic spacing


a lot like


the way i'm typing


right now!

I want it to be
all neat and tidy
like this
section of text.

//use the <br> tag, it will do the spacing you want...

Totally unrelated, but you have a tag missing
, <i>Killing</i>

Every line break in your output text is a line break in the result. As for the list stuff, AFAIK the li tag isn't really supported by our parser so you won't get a nice bulleted list.

You also don't need to manually include the <br> tag, since line breaks fo that for you.

Well my biggest conundrum is that one set of html/text sent to the output does it how I want.
But when I COPY and PASTE that section and only change the sentences, it doesnt work all of a sudden. Most perplexing.

Its like baking two apple pies with the same ingredients, and following the same recipe.
One tastes of apples, the other tastes like the tail rotor from an apache helicopter
