Thanks, Alan,
The thing is that I don't want only the first <br> to be widened. I want all
<br>s that are not immediately preceded by another <br> to be widened.
I just want to special-case <br><br> or <br><br><br>. I don't want to special
case the following:
Some text <br>
Some text <br>
Some text <br>
Some text
