Looking back, \n and [br] is a poor decision. It originally came from the original QuickDoc that generated HTML which at the time mapped to the <br> tag. 1) I think we should deprecate it fast 2) allow paragraphs in blurbs, tables, etc. As an interim solution, yes, we can convert \n's to paragraphs, but emit a warning that it is deprecated. I'll work on it ASAP. Regards, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boost-consulting.com http://spirit.sf.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
