Re: [O] [new exporter] ASCII export, single newline

My line breaks are preserved, but no new ones are added. (The old ASCII exporter preserved line breaks, without using any OPTIONS.) The old ASCII exporter didn't format paragraphs properly.

I fixed it yesterday (shortly before answering your message) Thank you! You (and many who work on Org) have this very nice habit - when you see that something in Org is broken, you mostly just go and fix it. I appreciate the work that all of you do. If you want a line break on every line, use #+OPTIONS: \n:t This gave me exactly what I was looking for, thank you. My line breaks are preserved, but no new ones are added. (The old ASCII exporter preserved line breaks, without using any OPTIONS.) The old ASCII exporter didn't format paragraphs properly. So now I know about #+OPTIONS: \n:t , and also the new exporter should just do it correctly anyway, since you fixed it? Perfect. Thanks again for your help. -- David

If you want a line break on every line, use #+OPTIONS: \n:t Haven't tried this yet. -- Thanks David
