Hi
This maybe a really stupid neewb question, but when im writing my slides
and course homework in org and export to reveal html, pdf etc i always get
all lines stitched together and the only way i managed to get over this is
use a "\\" sign at the end of EACH line. this is really cumbersome. I
wonder how you more experienced guys deal with this? am i missing
something? cant the exporter just use emacs lines as lines? why are they
getting joined during export?
for example this section
*** Basic data types in R
Decimals values like 4.5 are called numerics
Natural numbers like 4 are called integers. Integers are also numerics
appears like this in export
Decimals values like 4.5 are called numerics.Natural numbers like 4 are
called integers. Integers are also numerics.
the only way to deal with it is to end every line with \\
*** Basic data types in R
Decimals values like 4.5 are called numerics.\\
Natural numbers like 4 are called integers. Integers are also numerics.\\
Boolean values (TRUE or FALSE) are called logical (TRUE can be abbreviated
to T and FALSE to F).\\
Text (or string) values are called characters.\\
thanks so much in advance

Essentially you want each line to be a separate "paragraph" so simply
leave a blank line in between:
#+begin_src org
,*** Basic data types in R
Decimals values like 4.5 are called numerics
Natural numbers like 4 are called integers. Integers are also numerics
#+end_src

Glad I could help.
I had meant to add that what you probably wanted, in any case, was to
use lists if the text was intended for slides, as in:
#+begin_src org
,*** Basic data types in R
- Decimals values like 4.5 are called numerics
- Natural numbers like 4 are called integers. Integers are also numerics
#+end_src
As each list entry starts a new paragraph, you don't need the blank line
between them. A list may look better than separate lines alone.

And, if the time ever comes that you really do want to preserve line
breaks for some reason, you can set the org-export-preserve-breaks
variable to t, or use the \n:nil OPTIONS line.
