brad-

the post you quoted, from me, was an errant send.
it was actually a message posted by someone else.

in general, i don't think much about how existing
software will treat my files, because i consider it
my job to deliver software that does what i want.

non-programmers have to live within their apps,
but as a programmer, i create the worlds i want...

the question of how to "mark up" line-breaks is a
non-starter for me.  the plain-ascii p.g. e-texts
already have hard line-endings in them indicating
line-breaks.  those are the ones inserted by p.g.
my suggestion was that the original line-breaks
should be used instead.

i think the discussion has run its course this time.
maybe it will come up again.  or maybe it will not.

and maybe there will be demand from users for
e-texts that mimic their hard-copy counterparts,
or maybe there will not be.

maybe jeroen will work up a template i can use.
or maybe he won't.

time will tell on all these things.  or maybe it won't.
