I do not believe that there is any HTML authoring/editing tool which will preserve newline characters as implicit markup.
Sorry what I do and others do is retain the original books linebreaks in the coding of the HTML. Fortunately HTML *is* a reflow file format which ignores those linebreaks and treats them as whitespace, allowing the end user to use whatever size device, fonts, screen orientations etc that they choose. If one later want to make another pass at the book one simply strips out the HTML markup leaving the original text part intact with the same linebreaks as were in the original book. Then as a hypothetical example one can resubmit that plaintext with the original linebreaks back through the DP process.
