Retain space between sentences when searching by @tag

TaskPaper

In the image below, there is a space between each sentence. However, when I search by “tag”, the space is removed. In the example shown, the clutter isn’t a big deal. But when there’s a lot of information, it becomes difficult to read. Is there a way to search by tag AND retain the space between sentences?

Thanks.

The space doesn’t belong to any of the elements that are tagged with @line1. If you want to retain the space, make that space part a child of one of the tagged elements, and the search for the tag for the tag and its children. In your example, the query would be this,

@line1///*

And your Outline needs to look like this,

Sunday, November 6 2016:
	This line @line1
		(I am including this text so that you can see where the blank line needs to be in the outline)
	This line @line1

Hope this helps.

Thanks Victor. More complex than I was hoping for, so I’ll make do with the status quo.

If you just want more spacing you could change your stylesheet … then you wouldn’t need to insert those spaces. For example:

@line-height-multiple: 2.0;

If if you want to get more complicated you can also control the spacing before and after each paragraph:

item {
  paragraph-spacing-before: @user-font-size / 2.0;
  paragraph-spacing-after: @user-font-size / 2.0;
}

Thanks Jesse!
