Description Tom 2013-03-17 18:36:36 UTC
When saving a text document as .html the html document has double spaces between paragraphs, when the original text did not.

Thank you for reporting this issue! I have been able to confirm the issue on:
Version 3.6.5.2 
Platform: Bodhi Linux 2.2 x64

Reproducible steps:
1. Open writer
2. Write a word or two
3. Push enter
4. write a couple more words
5. Save as html
6. Open in browser, inspect source, you'll see <p> where you expect <br>

As I've been able to confirm this problem on an earlier release I am changing the version number as version is the earliest version that we can confirm the bug, we use comments to say that the bug exists in newer versions as well.

Marking as:

New (confirmed)
Normal - prevents high quality work
Medium - default seems appropriate



Note: It seems like the problem here is that a hard enter in writer is treated like a <p> vs. a <br>. It seems obvious that a hard enter in writer is meant to be a new line in a webpage, not a new paragraph.

See Bug 60421. Joel, you're right, those should be exported to <br>.
