Paolo,

Once again you have proven to be a genius! Thanks for the tip. I have 
experimented and it works fine.


 is a line feed (so Google tells me) and produces a blank line 
between tag text


 is a carriage return and produces tag text on successive lines

Sample tag:

<gedit:Tag name="Abbreviated form">
<gedit:Begin>&lt;ABBR&gt;&#13;
This ought to be on the first line!&#13;
This is a (hopefully) a new line!&#13;
And this ought to be the third line!&#13;</gedit:Begin>
<gedit:End>&lt;/ABBR&gt;</gedit:End>
</gedit:Tag>

Output from the tag:

<ABBR>
This ought to be on the first line!
This is a (hopefully) a new line!
And this ought to be the third line!
</ABBR>

Very useful thank you.

Regards,
Peter

There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to 
conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the
