Thank you Eric and Rick!
Eric:
The #+OPTIONS: \n:nil didn't do much here even using the default templates
for export as suggested
Rick:
i think i can live with the #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE blocks , is there a way to
define wrapping text in the block? as you said using the block currently
cuts off text towards the lines end
Appreciate all the help from everyone. thanks alot!
