For esthetic reasons I prefer to use the "\n", the produced html looks
cleaner and better structured. It's a bit like using a coding style
(indentation, ...) to have readable code.

But it's a lot of work to apply it everywhere, so the question is if
it's worth the effort.
I don't need it, I usually use the Find function to find what I'm
looking for in the html output anyway, or read the sourcecode.
