... I hate to say it, but that was how most people coded before the late 2000's. is a angry nerd argument with no point. If Wikia doesn't make the standard  tag workable, it only shows why common folks don't edit at wikis at wikia anymore. Most older websites about HTML do not note this as before "X"Html it was not warranted in coding at all for the break command. The youngsters here will take aims with old-school coding, but many older wiki's are built on it. That being said, old timers like myself usually have moved on either to newer coding or simply quit coding all together as its a rat race with no point or winners.

I already noted that div style tags don't seem to work either, and that isn't a out of date form of HTML last I checked. So perhaps all html doesn't work at this point. Heck, I'm starting to believe nothing but wiki language works within the fields in these new Portable Infoboxes. If so, then that is going to make some previous infoboxes pretty messy in the coming months.
