When ever I make a new line it does something like this (when using Paragraph as the Format):

\*\*  
Who are you?

I am Mike Ishigaki, and if you don’t know me then you probably should not be here right now.\*\*

but what I want it to do is this:

\*\*  
Who are you?  
I am Mike Ishigaki, and if you don’t know me then you probably should not be here right now.\*\*

I don’t want to use preformated because that usually screws everything up

hold shift then press enter. that will enter a \<br\> tag. Which from the look of your example is what you want.

Or you can control your \<p\> tag with css. But it seems easier to just do my suggestion above this one.
