I thought I said that multiple blank lines would be removed until
there was a blank line between paragraphs, or add one if there was
no blank line between paragraphs. In any event, I was wrong. I
just checked the XML and HTML versions of a file and the display
shows blank lines, but when I highlight the text, the blank lines
are not highlighted. This means that there are no blank lines
between paragraphs, it just looks like it in the display. Claire
just stopped by and said that maybe there are blank lines, they're
just not being highlighted.
What about Victor Reader Soft and other programs like that? Do they
recognize blank lines between paragraphs?
Now more confused than ever, Carrie

Hi Mayrie,
Actually, I wondered about this before posting this message. I asked Carrie
whether or not the stripper would remove blank lines from inside the texts
and she said it would not. So since the blanks will be retained, I thought
I'd ask folks if they liked the blanks.
I'm glad you brought up this question though, it was the one I had myself.
Best,
Allison
