Bert,
I just tried it with liblouisxml 2.0.0 and there was no blank line placed
after the "Dayton Convention Directions" heading. I am attaching the exact
configuration files that I used with liblouisxml in case you want to try it
again. If nobody else can duplicate it, maybe it is something with my
embosser. I really don't know, but I get the same results every time I try
it.
Vic

No I meant Liblouisxml 2.4.0. But I just tried it with Liblouisutdml as
well (I'm not sure which version I'm using), and got the same results.
