Out of the box, this is normal. Word To XML (w2x for short) cannot make
a difference between paragraphs where whitespace and newlines are
significant (e.g. code snippets) and ordinary paragraphs.
You need to pass special options to w2x to solve this kind of problem.
See "Converting custom paragraph styles to semantic tags",
http://www.xmlmind.com/w2x/_distrib/doc/manual/index.html#convert_paragraph_styles
For example, in our manual.docx, we use a custom MS-Word paragraph style
called "ProgramListing" to style code snippets. To support
"ProgramListing"-styled paragraphs, we had to pass to w2x the following
options:
-p edit.prune.preserve p-ProgramListing
-p edit.blocks.convert "p-ProgramListing span g:id='pre' g:container='pre'"
However, if you use desktop app w2x-app, the simplest is to use the
*setup* *assistant* for that. See
