[oXygen-user] Pretty Print <lb/> in Oxygen

Hi Syd,
I do not think that is possible with any of the current settings.. You
should set space preserve on a p or ancestor element and then format it
as you want and oXygen's format and indent will leave it like that.

<p xml:space="preserve">I call our world Flatland, not because
we call it so, but to make
<lb/>its nature clearer to you, my happy readers, who are
privileged to live
<lb/>in Space.</p>
<p xml:space="preserve">Imagine a vast sheet of paper on which
straight Lines, Triangles,
<lb/>Squares, Pentagons, Hexagons, and other figures, instead
of remaining
<lb/>fixed in their places, move freely about, on or in the
surface, but without
<lb/>the power of rising above or sinking below it, very much
like shadows
<lb/>—only hard with luminous edges—and you will then have a
pretty
<lb/>correct notion of my country and countrymen. Alas, a few
years ago,
<lb/>I should have said “my universe:” but now my mind has
been opened
<lb/>to higher views of things.</p>

Best Regards,
