What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

When I use such features as paragraph indents or double spacing the lines between paragraphs, it does not appear on the prose pages. It makes reading more difficult than it should be. Formatting of prose should be entirely in the hands of the creators, not the system.

How does this feature request address the current situation?

Just by making it so that the system doesn't ignore bbc code for formatting the prose page would be the simplest thing in the world.

What are other uses for this feature request?

The creation of interestingly formatted prose for interesting depictions or descriptions of the story.
