template does not allow enough separation between disparate sections. Try using wiki sections with the ===section_title=== wikiformat. See http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Wiki_Team/Guide/Formatting. If that is not sufficient, a skin change would be required to avoid the newline and <br> workarounds. Please post a screenshot of your issue.
