There were hundreds of lines of whitespace, removing it without resorting to a
revert would have taken at least a half an hour and probably longer.
You clearly need to get a better text editor! That should be a single
search-and-replace operation; change double line breaks to single line
breaks.
In NEdit (
http://nedit.org/), that'll be:
paste (middle click)
replace (ctrl+r)
click 'Regular Expression'
enter '\n\n' for 'String to find'
enter '\n' for 'Replace With'
hit 'Replace all in Window'.
select all, then paste it back into web browser.
But yes, I should have explained in as nice a way as
possible, just why I did
the revert on the talk page. For that I am sorry.
Sorry you got caught, eh? ;)
