Re: Import ASCII as Verse
JMarc, any progress on this one? I think your last suggestion was to modify Import ASCII as lines, which would suit me fine, but nobody else responded. Garst

Considering all of the wierd stuff you let mathematicians do, I don't think it out of line to cater to poets aussi. Garst (who does both)

This means import as lines should keep line break as line breaks and change double line breaks to paragraph break. This seems reasonable, in fact. Why don't we do that always? I'd like to know what people think about that... Garst> Yes.

Yes, it is probably a very very bad idea :) If we do that, next time tou will ask that in verses footnote are output as tabulars and tabulars as footnotes... JMarc

It also would have been nice if when in paragraph=verse, an [enter] would have been interpreted as a line break and C-[enter] as a paragraph break, but changing the behaviour now is probably a bad idea. Thanks, Garst
