Let met clarify: We use the html(field) on alot of pages, some of them render themself in xml, others are html, and in my case I go from jsp -> xml -> html. In the code (MMObjectBuilder.java) the html(field) does the following: "\n\r\n\r" converted to "<br /> <br />" The main issue is: - is the cosmetic or does it have a deeper meaning? If it is cosmetic (if you do a view-source on a page and there is a space between the <br /> <br /> only to make things more readable) then I would want to propose to rip this thing out anyway. gr, marcel
