Re: what happened to the #+OPTIONS: \n:t ?

Dear katepano,

as you can see, it has taken 11 emails on a high volume email list
to get the answer to your simple question.  More than 1100 people have
subscribed to this mailing list, an unknown number of people
read it on aggregators like gmane.  That is a lot of time and energy
spent unnecessarily.

Please take more care when formulating a question to the list
and try to give all necessary information from the start.
Here is an example on how you *could* have formulated your
initial mail:

Dear Org- mode people,

I am trying to write a poem in Orgmode, but when I am exporting
the poem to LaTeX or HTML, all the line breaks are lost!  I would like
to export the poem with the line break preserved.

I have studied the manual and have found that

   #+OPTIONS: \n:t

might be a way to achieve what I want.  But the feature is marked as
DOES NOT WORK in the manual.  Does anyone know why this is the case?
I have also search for "preserve breaks" in the mailing list archive:

http://search.gmane.org/?query=preserve+breaks&author=&group=gmane.emacs.orgmode&sort=relevance&DEFAULTOP=and&xP=org%09mode

and found a number of threads which match this query, but the results
have been confusing to me.  So I am wondering if someone here could
enlighten me what the best way is to achieve my goal.

Here is an example Org-file:

#+STARTUP: showall
#+TITLE: 5-006 Τσιγάρο ατέλειωτο
#+OPTIONS:   H:3 num:nil toc:nil \n:t

*Συνθέτης:* Σωκράτης Μάλαμας
*Στιχουργός:* Γιώργος Αθανασόπουλος
*Έτος:* 1993 

#+BEGIN_QUOTE
Θα περπατήσω μοναχός κι αυτό το βράδυ
μήπως και βρω της λησμονιάς σου το νερό
και σε υπόγεια σκοτεινά θα βρω σημάδι
μ' ένα ποτήρι ως της αυγής τον πανικό
#+END_QUOTE

I guess you would have gotten the right reply immediately.

That was actually a much better message, and, as Bastien indicates,
there is no simple answer/solution at this time.
