I used to thinking of removing CR/LF at the parsing or exporting stage. But
now I think it is not a perfect solution since it will remove by mistake
some meaningful spaces. For example, in an English/Chinese mixed texts
whereas lines are sometimes broken at between two English words, which is
often the case when we fill graphs with m-q.
Discerning meaningful and meaningless spaces for Chinese and Japanese is
rather too complicated a topic. Chinese rarely use spaces for separating
words, Japanese sometimes use spaces for separating syntax elements.
Korean, by my instinct at staring on Korean scripts, does use spaces to
separate words.
I guess, this requires either a derived custom export engine or a
