Lars, I delayed implementing softreturn until it was needed. Now it is, so I'll get on it. I'm glad you are using liblouisxml to do some real transcribing work. That's what we need to make it useful in the real world. You are "pushing the envelope," as we say here. A paragraph consisting only of blanks is ignored. Do you want the line following the blank line indented, as for a normal paragraph? Liblouisxml has five utility styles, named, unsurprisingly, style1 through style5. You might try changing html.sem by putting style1 in the line for br instead of softreturn. Then in your configuration file put style style1 linesAfter 1 John On Mon, Mar 24, 2008 at 05:14:02PM +0100, Lars Bjrndal wrote: > I want to make a blank line, and I've tried to use <br>, which in the > html.sem file should be treated as softreturn. > > The file I'm working with is an XHTML file.
