Well, now is my problem:

I noticed that Kunena uses BR tag ( <br> ) to make new lines in the message text. It seems that when user writing message and hit the Enter key, then Kunena's BBcode paser will use BR element to generate this new line.

You know, BR tag is very special, it can not being styled via CSS. For example, in Chinese language, we usually want to show text-indention in the first line of EACH paragraph. But, if Kunena uses BR instead of P tag, then this can NOT be achieved by CSS. We have to hack the code of Kunena php file.

I hate hacking php , I think you also don't want people do this.

So, why not use P element to generate new line (in fact, new paragraph) ?

Thanks.

I think it's the limitation in the BBCode parser we're using.

Yes, it seems that the BBcode parser will replace line break with BR tag, instead of P tag.

Well, we know the reason now, can you fix this by modify the BBcode parser ? For example, let it replace the line break with P tag?

Thanks.

This is the issue: when you create a topic, new lines are created with a CR-LF

Therefore it's possible ...
to break ...
a line ...
by using ...
a CR-LF.

CR-LF is "translated" by the parser as <BR />

Obviously, if you translated CR-LF as <P> this is what would happen:

Every time you pressed CR-LF ...

you would have double line spaces ...

between each line.

So this is going to be complicated, isn't it?

What if you only want one line space? In your case, you want (in effect) two?

At least, we can control the empty space between two P tags with CSS, right? But we can not make CSS work with BR tag.

So, I prefer P tags.

Otherwise, how can you solve my former problem: define text-indention for the first line of EACH paragraph in post message text?

You can make some CSS work with the <br> tag. For example
Code:
#Kunena div.kmsgtext > br { line-height: 2.5em; }
You are right. You cannot use text-indent unless you are using <P> tags.

Sorry, but we can't help you with that one.
