Huge gap in an announcement

[KatherineJudd]

I am trying to post an announcement to my students. When I type it, it looks correct, but when I post it, there is a HUGE gap right in the middle of the announcement. I cannot remove this gap. What is going on here?

Did you copy and past the text?   Check the HTML code of the text box -- perhaps there is something hidden in there that you can't clean up from the Rich Content Editor, but can clean up in the HTML view.

How do I use the HTML view in the Rich Content Editor?

Hi @KatherineJudd,

Are you able to show us an example of what you see and what is seen when using "View as Student" or a generic student account?

Hi @KatherineJudd ...

To piggyback on what @Hildi_Pardo said, you could also use an online tool to clean up any rogue HTML code that might be causing those large gaps in your announcement(s).  I wrote a blog post on this a while back that might be of help to you:
