If the source was properly formatted to begin with, the linebreaks have probably been gobbled up by linebreak translation problems. Unix-flavor operating systems (including OS X) use a carriage return character (ASCII 13/0D, RE \r) to designate a linebreak; previous MacOS versions use a linefeed character (ASCII 12/0C, RE \n) likewise; Windows uses both in the order CR -> LF. As a rule, viewing source and copying THAT (as opposed to saving the markup to a file and opening it in a text editor) will avoid the problem you describe on Windows. Otherwise, you should be able to find source formatting functionality in the tools you're using. Textpad, which is powerful even in the shareware version, provides preferences to sidestep this issue by default.
