* Is there a way to add line breaks? I’m trying to import a bunch of old Robohelp
files. The results work OK, but there are no line breaks so the body of each
post ends up being ‘minified’ in a very unfriendly looking mess.
* I was wondering if there was an option to do this (perhaps after every div or
p) before I started trying to hack the plug.
* TIA,

* You’ll have to hack it, I’m afraid.
* In html-importer.php, comment out this line, around line 226:
* ```
// reduce line breaks and remove empty tags
$string = str_replace( '\n', ' ', $string );
```
* and these two lines around 335 or so:
* ```
$doc->preserveWhiteSpace = false;
$doc->formatOutput = false; // speed this up
```

* Wow. Message in a bottle. 😉
* It’s a bit late for what I was doing at the time, but I do appreciate the reply.
Likely will come in handy.

* Sorry about that. I’d fallen way behind on forum replies!
