[oXygen-user] Re: Whitespace Problem

[Philipp Steinkrüger]

Hi,

thanks for your answer, Sorin. I understand Oxygen Author-Mode is not 
able to do what i want, but i think it
should be! There should be an option telling the renderer to just ignore 
line-breaks. I fail to see any reason why
the transformation into whitespaces is necessary. Can this be added to 
the feature request list?

Best,
Philipp
