BufferedReader only interprets line feed (U+000A), carriage return (U+000D) or carriage return followed immediately by a linefeed as signalling the end of a line (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/io/BufferedReader.html#readLine()). The text annotations to U+000A and U+000D in Unicode 3.0 do not refer to U+2028 and do not recommend the use of U+2028 as the preferred character for for text processing in this context. Does the UTC have a recommendation about using U+2028 in preference to the other characters? If not, the problem won't go away as far as I can see. -- Christian Cooke * http://www.fishamble.net
