Thank you all

"I think `org-export-preserve-breaks' is the option you want. Try setting
it in a single buffer with #+OPTIONS:\n:nil and see what happens..."

that sounds interesting, but i couldn't understand how to use it (again im

do i stick this line at the start:
#+OPTIONS:\n:nil

is that ^^ syntax correct?

best
