Can someone remind me how to prevent ads from appearing in the middle of text capsules? It's something to do with soft and hard linebreaks, isn't it? What's the difference?
I thought Eugene came up with a way of doing it several months ago.
Shift-enter works usually, but only within a block of text. So instead of using enter to create a new paragraph, use shift-enter. Unfortunately it doesn't work if you have to use a H3 subtitle or a line of bolded paragraph text as a subtitle, because you have to use an enter for the formatting to work (Formatting only works on individual paragraphs. When you use shift-enter, you're not creating a new paragraph, just a new line). Glenn said however said that there could be issues with just creating new lines rather than new paragraphs in blocks of text because Google might have difficulty understanding the flow.
Why won't Hubpages talk to us about this? Are they ignorant of the technicalities or is it a taboo subject for some reason? We know ads are just stuck in everywhere they can find a new paragraph and they get spaced every so many lines. Please tell us whether you can control this. Does Tag make you fit as many in as possible?
Interestingly, I see people in the related discussions below complaining 8 years ago about the number of ads.

Has anyone else noticed that? It makes the comments section really long, doesn't it? Is that a minor bug or something?

Hi everyone,Before I publish my hubs on hubpages I usually write the draft, edit and re-write the good copy on Word. However I'm having space issues when I copy whats on Word onto the Text Capsule on hubpages. It seems it double spaces every paragraph and it just takes up extra time getting the...

The double-space text format encountered while creating hubs is a considerable setback for an otherwise very good, enjoyable site.It's discouraging as well as exasperating for any beginner to have to struggle with the mechanics of spacing during AND after each effort to contribute to Hubpages and...

A new article I just published has turned up with some odd spacing. In this article, https://hubpages.com/travel/Visiting-th … -Cape-Cod, the paragraph headed, "How Do You Get To The Top?" has a paragraph-style break in the middle of a sentence." You can also look down...

While I realize that Hub Pages is not a poetry-first website, focusing instead on articles, I still wish we could have a return to the days when we, as authors, had a bit more creative freedom in how we arranged our words on the page.If you will please take a look at this poem:...
