LPSG.com uses BBCode-style formatting rather than standard markdown. This means tags like [b]bold[/b] and [i]italic[/i] are used instead of asterisks. This formatter prepares your plain text with correct paragraph spacing and structure so it displays cleanly when pasted into the LPSG reply editor.

Pasting directly from word processors like Microsoft Word or Google Docs often strips or doubles spacing because of hidden formatting characters in the clipboard. This tool cleans those characters and replaces them with properly spaced paragraphs that LPSG renders correctly in the forum editor.

LPSG does not enforce a strict character limit on forum posts. However, very long posts without clear paragraph breaks tend to receive fewer replies because they are harder to read. This formatter adds proper spacing and breaks long blocks into readable paragraphs, which consistently improves engagement on long posts.

Yes. The output of this formatter works in both LPSG thread posts and private messages. The formatting principles are identical — clean paragraph spacing and readable line lengths improve the readability of both public posts and private conversations on LPSG.
