Details

(Whiteboard: EDITORBASE-)

The Composer automatically inserts new line characters into the text it outputs as HTML. When writing javadoc's, this causes problems with certain tags, and it may cause a problem in other parsing engines. It would be best if the automatic insertion of line breaks could be turned off. It does make the output somewhat easier to read, however it is not necessary for Composer to parse it correctly, and most every text viewer has the option to turn wrapping on and off.
