Sorry to just jump in out of the blue here, but I have to agree that
arbitrary insertion of tags into a document seems like a pretty awkward
hack. Wouldn't it be preferable to use an element that didn't have a direct
visual rendering, like a named anchor or empty div tag, rather than
inserting line breaks all over the place? If not, it seems as though it
wouldn't be terribly difficult to assign some attribute to those instances
of the <br> tag that were added automatically, so that they could be removed
before a file was saved to disk.
Just a thought,
