Why doesn't text appear in my instructable "foot operated computer mouse?"

Rolling cursor over the horizontal line of steps and their photos at the top proves that the text was uploaded. However, the text does not appear if an individual step is clicked or in the pdf version. Is there something I need to do differently? This is my 25th Instructable, and I have never seen this problem before. unclesam

What NM said. Put a carriage return at the end of each HR (line of dashes).

. Did you insert returns before and after the HRs (dashes)? . Did you use a word processor to compose the iBle and then C&P the text?
