title: Add blank line between paragraphs in Crystal Reports Formula Field
body: <p>In my report, I have a parameter that I use to pass some configurable text stored in a database to the report.  This text then gets displayed on the report.</p>
  <p>I want that text to include some basic formatting (i.e. bold, italics, centering, etc.).  To accomplish this, I place the parameter on the report and format it as <code>HTML</code>.  The text then includes HTML tags that accomplish the formatting.</p>
  <p>This all works until I want to include a blank line between paragraphs (i.e. &quot;double spacing&quot;).  In HTML I would add multiple <code>&lt;br/&gt;</code> tags.  However, Crystal Report only interprets that as &quot;single spacing&quot;.</p>
  <p>If I switch the display mode from <code>HTML</code> to <code>none</code>, and replace <code>&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</code> with <code>chr(13)+chr(13)</code> (plus a few changes involving a formula field -- it won't work with the <code>chr(13)</code> just embedded in the incoming text), I do get my &quot;double spacing&quot; between paragraphs.  However, I then lose the ability to include any kind of text formatting within the paragraph.</p>
  <p>Is there a way to force a &quot;double space&quot; between paragraphs dynamically in Crystal Reports and still retain the ability to dynamically format portions of text?</p>
