I frequently have to make structured lists and email them to the office. I make each list as a table in an Org subtree, with some notes (always just plain text) above and below the table. At least for my purposes, the table export to ASCII works perfectly. My plain-text notes, however, often contain single newlines, which I'd like to retain. The new ASCII exporter converts them to spaces. If I put double newlines in the original, then the exporter doesn't convert anything, and leaves them double. I'm glad to format my originals in any way that works - my aim is only to get single newlines into the finished export. Is there an easy way to do that? -- Thanks David
