Template Codes

After spotting a typo in a Sentence, I've been editing a fact definition to correct it. However as part of the same sentence, I am getting two squares appearing in my "actual" sentence, in two separate positions, which indicates to me some kind of font problem.

On checking the Fact Definition, (Newspaper Article) the cause is the text <para>. The help file helpfully confirms that the fairly obvious meaning is the correct one, and that the Fact Definition is using the correct code.

I have never understood fonts and references to Unicode etc, so I'm not sure what I'm looking for. but I haven't spotted anything in Preferences, so is it likely to be a PC issue?

There is nothing wrong. The simply indicates where a newline will appear.
The Sentence box is only two lines and cannot be expanded, so if it actually displayed the newlines, then often little or no sentence text will appear unless you use the vertical scroll bar.

Thanks. Glad I asked tho. I'd assumed as there were scroll bars that the display would be OK.
