Must admit I could have abc in threads that does that, not that we get many abc submissions to threads. I just work on the princple that every CR/LF thingy from a text edit box means a new line and don't bother checking incase <pre> is used - a <br> is exchanged regardless of whether or not it sits within a pre tag. Cases where that would affect abc are rare though as mostly a supplied abc gets put into the song database to go with a song and I regard what gets posted to a thread in the main as a means of a) visual communication and b) mostly as material to go with a song. Similarly, if a correction was needed to the abc, the song db would reflect that but info put in a thread for use would not get updated.
