Hi Eraldo, still, an example would have been useful, to generate more ideas. In the absence of an example, a few more comments/ideas that have not yet come up (unless I missed them..) "\\" at the end of a line does also the right thing in HTML export, i.e. it is converted to
Other possibilities to preserve line breaks include 1. the #+begin_verse...#+end_verse block 2. A #+begin_example ... #+end_example block 3. Putting the numbers into a table 4. Starting each line with ": " (also makes them end up in an example block) Cheers - Carsten > > Greetings from Austria, > Eraldo - Carsten
